Pix of the front are up now
looks like the real thing.. 3 & 4 on the e neck theres a compensator under there and it looks like a sho bud knee set up with the e changes on the right knee.
I wonder why there are 6 pedals on the C neck

9 pedals, 3 and 6 isn't that uncommon. I used to see them frequently on old Emmons PP's.

With the "cover" necks (cover the rear of the changer) rather then open like an Emmons, says it's later than my Dec 81 model. I don't remember when Paul started using those style necks.

The Franklin nameplate looks like the one he put on some of the cases, rather than on the front of the guitar. I have the same type of case with the Franklin logo on a plate like that (except mine has the original Franklin logo, not the new style that is shown). Speaking of the case, he has the guitar sitting in the case wrong, it should be neck side down.

Theresa, that is not a "split tail" neck like was used on the early models. As I noted I don't know when Paul started making the "new design" necks (and changer fingers) but it was after 1981.
