The logo on that guitar whas short lived in 69'. You may also notice "Bakersfield, California" underneath it. When Tom bought the company, they used the CZB Scranton decals for a bit. #0009 was built in Bakersfield for Jerry Garcia and it had a CZB Scranton decal. #0017, was built for Jim Florence and had the same decal that this one for sale has. IMO, this is the coolest looking one they ever had. Not sure when the final logo came to be, but it would have been late 69' my guess.

#0102 has the rectangular decal.
so that's only 70 guitars later than this one on eBay.

OK, edit here, do 0064 is new style, that's only 32 guitars after the one on ebay.

Rare indeed, may be only 20-40 of these made.

Yep that pack-a-seat has been around. I have been thinking of recovering it in tooled Leather. In an effort to get that western look. Just haven't gotten around to it... as they say.

Here are a couple pictures I took of the steel Just after getting it from Bill G.

Thanks

Here she is. A bit faded in color but Greg says it's
the best player he's seen in a while. Love that two tone pad! It should be here today so I haven't played it yet. First Pic is before...

Chuck, that is some outstanding wood in the guitar. I see Buster, the boss at Gregs house, made it into a couple of the pictures. He is checking out the undercarriage and looks like he is satisfied.

Chuck -- what does the 4th pedal do?

B. Greg Jones · Post by **B. Greg Jones** » 7 Dec 2007 10:43 pm

Billy, ser# on that guitar is #0612.

Mike, the A,B,C pedals are in the 2,3,4 position. The 1st pedal on that guitar lowers 3 and 6, G#-G. The undercarraige in this guitar looks like its chrome plated. Good sounding axe too!!!
