I believe it is a BMI. It has all of the top and bottom characteristics.

agreed. the fret markers are 100% BMI, and the serial number is in the location and format you would expect from BMI.

Yes, this is a BMI, in fact I remember the day my dad Kenn Rollans and I went to Zane’s house in Scranton, Arkansas to pick it up. Zane built that guitar especially for Kenn. Dad had many years of pleasure playing that guitar.
I hated to sell the guitar, but after dad passed in 2013, I inherited all of dad’s equipment.
I already had four guitars and I kept one of dad’s single necks. Mom is enjoying the benefits of the equipment sales the way dad intended.

It is an early model too. He changed them after the first year or so to where the pickup is enclosed in an extruded block, as they are now.
