Matching green headstock? Refinish, or did some DR3's have a matching headstock?
That serial suggests 2001...which was the final year for the DR3.
If you're curious, you can remove the neck and check the date/model stamps on the neck heel/neck pocket.
96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.
I would think that it is an early DR3, not a 2001, because of the direct mount pickups and chrome hardware - although, the chrome could just be the photo.
If it were earlier than '98ish it'd have the Professional logo. So, I concluded the serial was using the sequential format, not the date coded format.
They had direct mount/chrome hardware in 2001...as shown in the '01 catalogue.
96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.
