Well, tracked him down, and picked it up for my first project. Is a very complete unit, although non running. Title is being run through MTO, still unsure of year.
What are the "tell tale" signs it's a '78? The tag on the neck has a manufacture date of 12/78, December 1978, which leads me to believe it's a 79?
Hmm.
Yes the paint is very odd. Guess the PPO was a bit of a weird duck. Will post more pics asap.
