I'd be interested to see what your thoughts are on the following 3 combo 800's. Each has a different weight extraction method. Now.....put them in the correct timeline. Huge prizes are on offer!

The one with the woodworm first, then the one that looks like a bed pan, then the other one. Have I won? Where's me prize?

Here is my guess. I'll take one of your model 4000 basses, please. You can deliver it to me at MARF, thanks.

I'd say the guy who worked on that third 800 was the inspiration for the guy who routed my 67 4001S!

No there's a couple of guitars that aren't suffering from a lack of holes. Holy Swiss Cheese, Batman!

Sorry guys. I was waiting until someone got it right!
So far 0 out of 3 for you guys............must try harder!
Also.......one is a combo 600........which one do you think?

How About...
Middle picture with simple rout earliest.
Swiss cheese 2nd
Rout with bracing latest. (It looks like it's the same pattern as the swiss cheese, but routed out)
Combo 600 would be with the routed bracing
