This model features a separate body and neck from the 1970s, making it a so-called two-piece unit.

This indicates a 1973 model.
The neck shows signs of having been four-bolt fastened, suggesting it is likely from before 1974.

The body is made of ash, with a maple neck and fingerboard, a classic construction.
