This Nick Lucas came to me after a relative passed away. Original purchaser was a family friend, I'm also in possession of OHSC and Bill of Sale, so provenance is relatively certain. Maple back and sides. By all accounts, this series was one hundred instruments, all signed by Ren Ferguson. This one lacks the special numbered Nick Lucas sticker, and Ren Ferguson's signature. Found a label image online that has an adjacent serial number, with Nick Lucas label and Ferguson signature. (image attached). What have I got here?

A 91 Nick Lucas came to me when my dad passed. Unaltered. Maple back and sides. It is one serial digit away from the attached picture, but does not have the second label, is not numbered in the batch of 100, and is not signed by Ren Ferguson. Seems there were many variations in this batch of NLs, some rosewood back and sides, some koa. Different tuning machines. Did Ren Ferguson build mine?
