Actually, I think the body is a little thicker than the standard, I would have to measure it to be sure. It is double bound, black binding front and back. Mine has three piece maple neck (60's profile) and three piece maple top, wide Nashville style bridge and a monster volute. I believe there were about 700 of the 78-79 (?) made, some in Kalamazoo and some in Memphis.
With the phase switch, it is capable of some unique tones, and it is my favorite finger pickin guitar. Good clean, strat-like tone.
