Come on, you must know the year - it's whatever year you had the time machine set to when you crossed the space/time continuum to buy that thing brand new!

If you take up the screws on the pickguard, flip it over, and have a look at the pot codes you will be close. Look for a number such as 1346732.
134 = Central Labs
67 = the year
32 = the week of the year
If they are the original pots then the guitar came shortly thereafter.

looks like the original owner was a serious collector with amazing willpower...that doesn't look like it's been out of the case! Congratulations on a great find!

Let's see...a "half trem" with the funky tuners large M logo high number would make it a 68? Thats my guess.

Pot Code: 1346806. So it looks like 1968? Cool!

Yep. I would guess early 1968, first or second quarter.

I am jealous that you have such a gorgeous guitar!
Wouldn't it be cool if Hallmark started making reissues of these guitars and the Joe Maphis models?

This photograph of The Ventures is from 1968…the guitars most probably too
