Hi,

I've just managed to get a DA plexi guitar, and hope someone out there can help with a few questions I have:-

1) The serial number is 2703 - can anyone give me an idea as to likely date of manufacture (the guitar still has the Schaller tuners and smooth Formica scratchplate and headstock)

2) The switch only has two settings, one of which seems to just cut the signal from the pickups, like a kill switch. Does anyone else's do this or is it (as I suspect) a later 'modification'.

3) One of the pickups I got seems to have been cast in resin, and has a sticker on the bottom that says 'Kent Armstrong' and 'Rock Treble' on it, as well as having RT scratched in to the base. As I don't think the reissue pickups would work with an original guitar was this a pickup made for the guitar in the years in between the original guitars being made and the reisssues?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Rupert
