Just picked it up at a sale, looks to be 1964 to 1966 model maybe.

I'm waiting to hear from customer service about this one.

It has a large headstock that says Pats. pend. and of coarse Malibu

there is a stamp stating made in Santa Anna CA USA on the inside, it is black with a gold guard and a maple neck with a rosewood board.

I'll post a picture soon for those interested in seeing it, I found it at a local auction house this morning.

its the black that fools you, it is covered in cracks in the finish.

nitro paint and climate changes just do not get along well, I would say this poor thing was kept in an attic and got some extreme temps.

The neck however is so very nice and the grain on the maple is wow!

it has a lot of Vintage cool

Sorry about the spelling, maybe I should slow down just a bit ?

I just removed the very old looking strings and cleaned it up, they were gunked up and dull as dirt.

so I'll let ya know after a fresh set of bright and clean strings get installed.

even so, the tone was nice and the neck was of coarse perfect for a Strat player like myself.
