I remember the "8Mxxxxxx"s, but am not sure where they were in the order, only that they weren't before the above and the #00245XXX which was the true first production guitar and was presented to Mississippi Music in Meridian, MS, (the store that Hartley's dad owned before retiring). There were some undisciplined zero-numbered ones with various single digit numbers included in the zeros, which went to artists like, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Neal Diamond, Billy Gibbons, etc.( 1977) These would let us know and identify if any of the sales reps "lost" their sample. Note that the decimal points progressed through the eight numerals and the last of the ten had two decimals. They were in order, 6 keys per side, 3 keys per side, and the bass. The sequence of markings on the first ones was ĬT-1, CT-2, CT-B, the first three built in my carport for the 1976 NAMM show. I don't believe that I've posted it here yet.ĭuring the last few years, I have received more than a few T-60s that were the very first ones made on the gunstock carving machine and the Ekstrom-Carlson router, before production was even in sight. Here is some serial number related info that Chip had posted on the original T-60 forum quite some time ago.
