That's a good guess, but since the serial numbers were not sequential there is no way of knowing for sure without removing the neck. Production dates should be stamped in the neck pocket and on the heel of the neck. If you do remove the neck, you should definitely work very carefully around the joint on the top of the guitar with a sharp razor blade to break any adhesion to the finish. These things were fit together so tightly that it's common to lift one or two small bits of finish along with the neck.

The descriptions of the variations within the F-100 model are way too absolute for any Leo-era G&Ls. There are 'hog bodies with natural finishes (like one of mine), swamp ash bodies in candy apple red, and a sprinkling of maple bodies thrown in.
