| Welcome to the forum. I think that's a very early one, the number beginning with the 8 implies '78 I believe... does it have the more narrow neck plate too? Looks sweet! |

Hello Ryan, thx for your answer. I don't think the neckplate is more narrow.

And you are sur for 78?

After observing the neckplate closer and comparing to other, I think it more narrow.
what you think?

| looks narrow to me! i'm sure that serial is '78 so that would make yours a very early example, as i believe '78 was the first year of production... also a pretty rare color i believe... |

Hello,

This is a ST80 because it's write in the neck pocket.

Nice!
I always identified my 78 narrow plate as being too narrow to stamp in the serial number between the top two screws - compared to the standard plate size.  |
