    Thanks for your note.

    Although the bridge, etc., are exactly as you describe, mine does NOT have the musical notes on the pick guard, something that I’ve wondered about. So, you may truly have the 1963 Truetone Jazz King picture in my catalog (with the “decorated” guard); and, I may have a slightly earlier or later model of the same guitar. I have scanned the 1963 Western Auto catalog page which shows your guitar and it is very clear. If you want to e-mail me at [email protected], I will share it with you.

    You may no longer be interested in this; but, the guitar pictured in your entry from last year was probably built by Kay for sale by Western Auto or Penney’s. I have a 1963, Western Auto “TrueTone” which looks just like yours (except for knob and switch color). I even have the Western Auto catalog from that year…picturing the guitar at $95. I paid a lot more!
