Location: CT | Looks nice. Looks like a Legend, but I guess it has the mid-depth bowl. To me, it ain't a real 'Glen Campbell' without the truss rod, and the cover that sez so. |

| Unusual to see the 'stacked' volume/tone shoulder knobs on a guitar without a truss-rod cover. Never saw that before... |

Location: CT | The early 80's guitars had the stacked vol/tone knobs w/o trc. My Custom Legend and '83 Collector are both like that. |

Location: Los Angeles | About how much is a 1627 from the year 1966 worth? It's in really good condition. |

Location: Scotland | The 1627 didn't exist in 1966. Nearest 60's model was the K-1127. Earliest issue of the 1627 would be mid to late '71 or thereabouts. What's the serial number? that will get you close to year of manufacture. |

Location: Los Angeles | Thanks, I'm a bit wet behind the ears when it comes to guuitar facts. I love this guitar though. I got it from a roadie for the Rolling Stones. It was used for the tour, I'm not sure if that effects it's value at all but it's true.
The SN is: 244 215 (It's black)
Thanks for any information. |

I would think that a 1627 that was used on stage by the Rolling Stones should be worth quite a lot. And a BLACK one no less? WOW!

| there's a pretty accurate ser# lookup to date your guitar in the reference section hotlinked at the top of this page..
another old one with a history and lots of mojo.
haven't seen a black 1627... might be a custom order ;) ... maybe not... but anyway I'm sure you realize it's a great guitar.
welcome to the board.

Location: Los Angeles | Thanks a lot fellas. I'll take a picture of it and replace my profile mug-shot. You would want to strangle me if you knew what I paid for it. I'm not boasting mind you I loathe boasting, this is just the only time I can remember that I endured in a transaction that worked way beyond my favor. I spent $200 on it and painted his kids bedroom. I guess he got tired of me swinging it off the rack every time I was in the same room with it. Some instruments are just...alluring ya' know? |

Location: Scotland | Serial number places it as produced in 1981. Black (7) finish was offered on standard production GC models at that time, though I don't recall ever seeing one. |
