Hey guys. Pardon the dumb question, but is this a 4001 or 4003?

Looks like Montezuma Brown.

It does indeed look like Montezuma Brown, but I think for that year it is Autumnglo.

That is a 4003 made between 1980 and 1986 ... the telling visual clues are ... 1 - two piece pickguard and ... 2 - no walnut stripe ... and it is definately autumglo

Has anyone of us written a (simple) guide to model/year/authenticity identification? Jeff's post is a good example of the text...
