So it goes without saying that it is the first one I have seen, bar the cover of Marty Stuart's "The Hit Pack" Album and I assume his is a genuine sixties guitar. We have a genuine '66 Sunburst example and the Neck on this one has an almost identical profile, although this one has a "Maple Cap" Fretboard instead of the more common Rosewood!
