That's not something you see every day. How many plies of binding on that sucker?ForTheLoveOfIvy, here's the rest of the guitar... View attachment 181550 1953 6042 400F Synchromatic flattop!
Mine is 9611460-2. I got mine from a music store in Atlanta called Rhythm City. They were bought out by Guitar Center in 97 I think.Welcome to the forum, @Georgiadudefrank ! My 460 came from a GC in Houston. It arrived in a TKL badged case with no number/part designation on it so I don't know the specific case type. The serial# of my natural model is 976XXX-41. Is that close to your last 2 digits as well?

There must have been 2 batches, Nov 1996 and June 1997. Yours was probably the second one ever made.Mine is 9611460-2. I got mine from a music store in Atlanta called Rhythm City. They were bought out by Guitar Center in 97 I think.
That’s what a guy at Ancient Instruments told me. Regarding the number 2. The owner of Rhythm City was pretty connected back in the day and probably got 1st dibs on just about anything that came out. I’m lucky to have been able to get my hands on it. It’s been an awesome guitar and I have loved playing it all these years.There must have been 2 batches, Nov 1996 and June 1997.

I converted my natural version to nylon strings by having the nut re-cut by my luthier.That’s what a guy at Ancient Instruments told me. Regarding the number 2.

Not mine but i think that's an old bigsby and pot knobs on a New reissue body... Anyway it looks great.
And I just submitted an order to the Custom Shop that will hopefully address all of those issues and a couple more.I'm not keen on the headstock treatment,G brand is not right or truss rod cover,but the rest is pretty cool.
