I was really interested in the year it was made. Also what type of finish was used. I would like to repair a couple of spots that have worn through. Any advice for that?

Here are a few pictures.

Thanks again,

Michael

Cool Repair?

Why would you want to? I would leave it as is. It's a vintage piece that looks pretty good considering the age. Just normal wear. Don't mess with it.

Take off the back plate and look at the label!


PAS II means Passive 2-pickups. We made 1-pickup models in the beginning with Active/passive circuits. This model is the original Smith shape before the BT.
