p.s it has slab rosewood board and 8 screw pick guard thanks in advance for any info
ps sorry guys i posted this as a reply to scorhinones question. i will get the hang of this site soon promise
Hi Craig,
There’s no data in the logbook for G029982. G029981 is there and dated 3/10/92 and G029983 is there dated 4/3/92. Back then they typed in serial number sequentially, though the plates weren’t used quite sequentially, then the info for each instrument was hand written in the logbook by the typed serial number. G029982 is typed in, but no info is penciled in next to it. Could be this was made of parts around the shop by an employee, which may explain the older bridge plate. Perhaps there’s something written in the body cavity under the pickups or neck pocket, though perhaps it won’t be meaningful as far as who built it or why.
Thanks, Craig.
Dave

I vote maple (2 piece) for the body wood.
It looks close to being bookmatched even ,looking at the almost birdseye figuring.
