OldCowboy Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 No changes that I've seen, although not sure if '69 models had the label at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Not as far as I know. The simple, but rather charming lasso-logo seems to remain the same. One of the interesting things about it is that the oval rope itself is a pretty even oval, but the paper-shape around it is uneven and rustic. If any variation it might be the position of the print - central, a bit north, a bit south, east, west. . Wonder when it's from. Probably the mid-50's.

J-1854Me Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Why not ask Gibbyprague -- he has or had a late '60s CW model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Wonder when it's from. Probably the mid-50's. Probably from about 1955, when the general slope-J changes were made: 20-fret neck, larger pickguard. The earliest ones I have seen with the CW rope label still had SJN (Southern Jumbo Natural) stamped on the centerline back strip. Ol' Fred here had one from about 1956 or 1957 that had the rope label. Can't remember if it had the centerline stamp. They're neat guitars in the slope-J period.
