Has anyone seen the '74 they think is a '78?

Has a brass nut- personally I've never seen a problem with having the brass nut, except for originality concerns.

Also has a Plexi TRC- MMMMMMMMM

Originality aside, my '77 has a brass nut and I think it does alot for volume, sustain, and presence. I don't think I'd have put it on myself, but I'd never get rid of it.
