Very nice. Screwed-on pickguard...What were they thinking? Looks like a compensated saddle, however.

Chickenbone John has worked on loads of these - had one just like that as I recall.

Nice looking guitar. If it has a stamp like mine the last 2 digits should be the model year, and the first digits decode where it was made.

It says F64 on it. I saw another web site where they thought the the F stood for "Fall", so that F64 meant it was built in the fall of 1964. Does that sound correct to you?

I emailed the info I have on mine to: info@stellaguitars.com. I believe the guy got back to me it was made in detroit? My stamp was S-64, I cannot find the email now so I am not quite sure how the first digit is decoded.
