[size=3]Although the S9 serial number may indicate a mfg date of 1979, S for 70s, 9 for 79 this serial number covered a mfg period between 1979 to 1981 hence this is in fact a 1980 model built approx end of april early may. This is confirmed by the correct black grey bottom pickups with s/no 21 16 80 the 21 refers to the operator the 16 is the week of production and the 80 being the year. The pots also confirm this and match the pickups in date with the last 4 digits being 17 80 the 17 is the week 80 being the year. Also in 1980 the reverse of the pick guard was fully shielded in silver foil. All correct black hardware, decals, f style tuners, correct bridge,3 bolt neck with bullet truss rod and neck plate, and correct 2 string trees with different heights. Pictures are available for all of the detail.[/size]

[size=3]All in all a great guitar, a few bumps and nicks in the body but nothing serious, great tight neck pocket and what i feel is probably the most important factor is that the back of the neck is totally clean no nicks or scratches at all. The ash body is a tad on the heavy side as most of them were in this period but on a personal note i think this adds to the sound and sustain of the guitar. Original frets in great condition, hardly any ware. Superb low action, trem has been locked down and have lost the trem arm some time ago, just fitted with new strings, fret board has been oiled and body polished,[/size]

[size=3]Original case is in good condition, one of the hinges is loose but the case is fine to close and is secure.[/size]

[size=3]Sad to see her go but deserves to be played and not just sitting in case[/size]
