Artist purchased on Ebay. Ebony Fretboard. Very narrow neck at the headstock. All original. Gibson Speed Knobs. Nicely figured KOA. Brass Nut. No. 102 would indicate a 1975 - 76 production date.
*********UPDATE*********
I was just recently informed that this guitar was one of the guitars stolen from sonic youth. Information about additional stolen gear can be found <a href="http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Hotel/1985/sygear.htm" target="_blank" class="misc">here</a>. I have been in contact with the manager... and I will be returning the guitar to the band. They were very cool... paying me my purchase price plus additional funds. All I can say is "wow"
