yes I found out from the place I bought it from in 66.scary? depends how you look at it in a way it was very ingenious,just too bad they tried to copy a Gibson style instead of using their own merits/ideas.
also noted was it was designed by a former Rickenbacker employee(Germany I believe) that Fender aquired outside the box.btw they say it was from the Antigua collection.those that I've seen are some Ugly guitar(s) finished.they also come in red that when fades looks simlar to what mine does that has always looked that way from day one.
