Hello first time post here. Just picked up a '73 S100.
1. Has anyone seen the back of the pickups engraved with the date? It is engraved with YY/MM/DD and the year being 73.
2. Is the cavity for the volume pots supposed to be completely covered in copper foil? Mine is not fully covered.
3. Does the NB have some finish? This one looks like it may have been sanded as the wood looks raw.
4. Were some made out of a single piece of wood? Don't see any seams.
5. Anyone have a good pic of the original wiring so I can see what was messed with?
6. Anyone has a good pic of the solder on the pickups? One looks reworked only on that side..
She is very dirty, missing some screws, no finish, could use some re-soldering, missing the nut for the phase switch, and missing a bit of binding.
Going to clean her up before stringing. Plugged in and all pups and switches work.
Thanks, Guy
