There have been a number of discussions about this on the forum if you do a search. Several folks have said that their guitars as late as '74 had wide pedals, and as early '70 had narrow. I have an S10 fatback that is supposed to be a '73, ser# 1218 S, it has the wide pedals, they are 1-3/8" wide at the foot pads, 2-3/4" spacing on the axle. My later '70s PP has the narrow cast pedals, they are 1-1/8" wide at the pad, ~2-1/2" spacing on the axle.

74 is generally when they were put into use. Btw, was that the one for sale in the store in Asheville?

Pedals on certain guitars may have been changed at one time by previous owners who preferred one style over the other. Owned a late '70's Sho-Bud 'LDG' and could not get used to the narrow pedals that were being installed at the factory, eventually replaced them with the wider units from a Baldwin Crossover.
