Eric, I don't know exactly when your guitar was made. I'm sure Bob Tuttle could come closer to the date than me. I would think it's earlier than 1974 because of the rack & barrel under carriage an ...

Kyle is a very neat and talented young man. After he finished colledge(MBA), I loaned him a couple of my Steels at different times. I think he has more steels than me now.
