I've read in several places that the texture of the scratchplate and truss rod cover changed in the '69 / '70 period from smooth to more textured or the other way round (I can't remember immediately).

Can anyone give me some idea of the difference between the two - was the smooth one absolutely glassy smooth, was the ridged one really obviously so?.

I've got what i think is a '70 DA with Schaller machineheads and having some idea of what the scratchplate should feel like would really help.

Cheers

Rupert
