I have an F-100 on the way, an early Series I with the serial stamped into the bridge plate.
It has a couple of unusual features, including original G&L tuners with a single screw and a nice birdseye neck with no skunk stripe. I understand that other examples exist with these tuners and no skunk stripe, but they seem to be relatively rare. Is there any pattern to when they show up (e.g. they made a batch in 1981)?
