Here it is: http://home.pacbell.net/duosonic/eBay/06.jpg Note the narrow neckplate!

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300291370370 ... and sold again, only this time for $900 USD. Yeah, I still think it's a 90. If the weight is over 10 pounds, then maybe not such a bargain, even at that price... And yes: this seller IS a real piece of work.

I know what you mean; it's just that the photo of the neck pocket looked to me like it had the narrow plate spacing. Take a look at this comparison of Springy neck pockets, one from (early) '78, the other from a year or two later: http://home.pacbell.net/duosonic/eBay/pockets.jpg As for the...

I think they're off a Silver Star...

Exactly!

Well, the ash body and 6-saddle bridge are supportive of the date too; by 1982, that would have an alder body and 3-saddle bridge.

Um... 7-digit serial number, that begins with zero... pretty straight forward, right?
