That was a first series "Pro~II"; which was exactly like a Professional in every way, except Crossbars with two hole pullers pulling Barrels instead of Racks.
Doesn't have a serial number on it...looks like scratched off ha.....but it has the emerald green added to the white spray texture underneath so that puts in in the timeframe of the first LDG year....May 1973-May 1974...so somewhere in there is the month.
The necks at that time were screwed on underneath you will see screws up through bottom to neck...so NO neck screws.
Yes single/single aluminum fingers with Pin....

The crossbars with two hole pullers give the pull/feel a smoother and a little less tension feel; than the racks.

I recently got a similar guitar with 4 knees for 25H. Very pleased. I can't guess how the removed serial# affects value. If you contact Jim Palenscar; he may remember the guitar from the seller's earlier inquiry (...pedal steel specialty shop, the steel master tech recommended servicing the carriage...). Good luck.

| Yes I contacted Jim a few days ago. He replied "sounds like me but not absolutely sure". |

| I think it's likely that the seller did have Jim check it out being in Oceanside Ca. And having the ad run for 11 months on a site like Reverb.com kind of reduces suspicion regarding this seller. But it's still a a little troublesome not having a serial #. |
