I've never seen one of these with the chopped-off fretboard. Sticker looks like it says New Hartford. Birdseye Collectors

They made 500 deep bowls and more shallow bowls, all with 16 fret to the body. Very pretty wood, but the shallow bowl that I had briefly didn't project much. The deep bowl probably sounds better.

That's normal. I think all the 16 fret models have chopped off fretboards.

That's one of the three years that they tried for the Two-Octave fingerboard.
They wanted you to be able to hit that 24th fret on the Low E.
