Hi all! I have what I believe is a 1967 Barney Kessel Custom, serial number 563700. I love the instrument. It has the SN embossed on back of the headstock, above the gold tuning pegs. I also has gold pickup covers. There is no serial number print/stamped inside the f-hole.
How would I confirm its age and if the instrument is stock? I was told that is was when I bought it 10 years ago (from a reputable NYC music shop).
Thanks,
Chris
