| Eric, this guitar would have been built in Phoenix under the Brumley.Simms era. I don't have any records past December of 68' but my guess is 75' or 76'. Looks like a real sweetheart!!!

| If the guitar was 0011 it would be a 69' built in Bakersfield. 1011 would be a 65'. That number kinda throws me off a bit. There were a few odd numbers built though. Lets see a picture!!! | |
