I believe that model was officially called "The Compact". It came stock with 20 knee levers, most of which seem to be folded up in this picture.

At least they put a short key head on it to shorten it by one inch.🙂

It probably weighs a ton. If I picked it up, I would most likely drop that cabinet.

I used to have one of those, but got rid of it because it was a booger finding new strings.

I suspect that may be the fabled "long neck universal", with C6 on the bottom two octaves and E9 on the top two

So, what was the scale, the year made, how many were made, and who owns the one pictured?
