Another shot
Here's F4 # 13092, a very late 3-pointer.
The back on this one is off the scale:
Double Flowerpot on the peghead too, only one I know of on a three pointer:
Deep carving in the scroll
Two pickguard clamps
And just a beauty overall..
A2z #74106
Here's a nice macro of the black/white binding that is (largely) unique to this model:
7 rings round the soundhole..

Thanks Pete, I've been practicing
Unusually early tuning pegs for a snake, normally they are the arrow-end type! Compare my brown snake,
A #71261 which also has the same smoother peghead profile
I kinda like that deep carving around the scroll. I hadn't noticed that before, so I went back and looked through the archive. I found this one that I thought had a very interesting scroll carving...Late 3pt F2. Amazing artistry!

Is that a replacement fingerboard for 73626 A4? Sure looks like one. Not in a good way either in my opinion.

I think 73626 has an original board, very white binding is all. What do you see there that makes you wonder?
The little extension doesn't look right. It looks like it was kind of sloppily copied from an original. It could be that it was made originally that way though. I haven't seen enough to really know for sure.

Shot of the day (or week)!? There's enough here for a good month!
