Well its a 6 digit serial number so that generally means that its pre 1975, on the headstock anywhere does it have "MADE IN USA" stamped anywhere? It looks like its in the area of when serial numbers started repeating and crap like that, 1970-75, excluding 1973, they had 100000s,200000s,300000s,400000s,500000s,600000s and 800000s for serial numbers, I cant really see anywhere where else where the 682757 serial number would really fit in. Can you provide any pictures of it, some of the guys here can identify a guitar by looking at it.

Excellent pics! The "MADE IN USA" stamping in the headstock started in 1970 so its definitely in the 1970-72 or 1974-1975 era I don't really know the production history from the individual plants yet but I think the Kalamazoo plant produced them earlier, don't quote me on that one thought I am just kinda guessing from what I have heard in the grapevine.
