iiipopes Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Look carefully: as 1957 was the first year of the split-P pickup, the pre-production pickup cover in the picture has a different profile than the standard pickup cover we've all come to, well, either love or hate as your personal style may be.
