First-ever USA pointy?

Re: First-ever USA pointy?

Ummm, whatever the last serial number is of the last bullseye or star they are currently making. Even then, it may not be the "last" one.

Serialized Stratheads were still being built after the first pointy guitars were made. There was a bit of a mix, with less and less stratheads being done.

Well that sucks. I was hoping there'd be an easier way to find out what the first pointyhead was [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: First-ever USA pointy?

I doubt anybody knows. Shoddy record keeping back then and all that.
So do you have a guitar you think may be it, and why, or are you just asking?

Re: First-ever USA pointy?

Don't tell me you found a SD in Tenn. I searched several shops during NAMM. Just recently went to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge and some of the shop owners looked at me as if I was speaking Klingon. A Char what? Fess up what are you onto to.

I did a little detective work and found a picture of Newc's new find:

Tim's close, but not quite [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'm sure someone out there knows what it is exactly, but is it safe to assume the serial number would be below 2000?

Don't know but PICS might help!!!!!!!

Re: First-ever USA pointy?

Dude, I said I *MIGHT* already have it, not that I *DO* have it [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
If no one knows (or says they know and aren't telling, or has it and isn't saying, etc etc) then there's no point in posting a pic in here unless I know whether or not the one I have *IS* the first-ever serialized pointyhead.

Re: First-ever USA pointy?

If your guitar is anything over 1769 it is NOT the first. If it is under that you certainly have an early one but impossible to tell if it is the first.

I hope you are getting all the attention you want playing this silly game.
