Not sure the exact year, haven't pulled tuner pans or anything. Serial# is 1392. Tone pot still sounds great. Just had one pick-up completely overhauled, new bobbin, new winding, had both re-magnetized by Tom at Mojo Tone pickups. One of the bottom pickup housings was removed before I purchased the guitar. A brass piece was attached to allow the strings to not hit the pickup. I've included pictures. Looks like someone also wrote in pencil between the necks so they'd know what key they were in at each fret. Felt removed from the bottom side. Other wear expected for a 60 year old player guitar, sounds amazing as expected. Case is in fair condition. $1350.

Great guitars!
Looks like the finish has been stripped though. |

| This is the only Dual Pro I've ever seen with a natural finish so you might be right. I'm open to offers. |
