[quote name='bnt' post='154016' date='Mar 9 2008, 05:01 PM']when I wrote to Stick Enterprise to enquire, they told me it was a 1979 Ironwood model, serial #565. Ironwood sounds right, but I'm not sure about the date, since it has some features that only arrived by the early 90s: Fret Rods, fully-adjustable bridge, "Just-A-Nut" that allows switching to 7+5 mode. It may have been upgraded at some point. I can't see any signs of work, though which must mean that if it was upgraded, it was done properly by Stick Enterprises.[/quote]
Definitely not an upgrade as the headstock is curved - earlier ones were more angular. When the new features you mention were introduced (in October 1989) they started the serial numbers from 001 again - mine is #614 so I would say yours dates from the early 90's.
Good luck with the sale - I second Dills' suggestion to post it on www.stickist.com too and add that I'd be very keen myself were it not the same specs as my current Stick - sounds like someone will grab an absolute bargain as you could ask almost twice your staring price.
