1975 deluxe maple neck

Todd · Jul 5, 2015

Were any maple neck Deluxes made in Kalamazoo or was the maple neck the start of Nashville production?

I`d say the start

My '79 maple-neck Deluxe was K'zoo made.

How do you known that your maple neck 79 is Kzoo made? The serial number? Stamped or sticker? Any other Kzoo distinguishing features?

There are many 75 Customs and Deluxes with maple neck from Kalamazoo, most with 5xxxxx serial number. I have had some such Customs -
they even had bigger frets, not older fretless wonder frets.

It's in the serial number. The third to last digit will be 0-4. A Nashville instrument will be a 5 or higher.

Also ,I think the "made in USA is sideways.

My 3d to the last number is 8. Also, the serial number is stamped into the wood, begins with 00, and there is no Made In USA, only the serial number. So it's most likely a Nashville?

All the K'zoo '74s and '75s I've seen had the Made in USA stamp. None of the K'zoo '74s and '75s I've seen have had maple necks. Just my experience, my eyes.
