Location: Pewaukee, WI | Picked up a rough Pacemaker 1615-4; neck and action are great, but the top is the rough part.
My question is, it's a silver label, serial number 009291. I see 000001-007000 being 1972 (May-Dec), then it jumps to 020001-039000 being 1974.
Is mine a 1973? |

Location: When?? | I guess if Las Vegas were running a line on it I would wager 1973.. but not the whole month's rent and food. |

Location: Pewaukee, WI | Another indicator of age is that it has Kluson tuners. |
