I bought this secondhand in the late 70's or early 80's.  There are no stickers/numbers anywhere inside or on the back of the headstock, so I don't really know what it is.

Looking at pictures on the web, I am thinking Concert Classic 1116 or Country Artist 1624, but the pictures I have found had chrome hardware, this one has gold.  I'd love to know the actual model and date.

Thanks very much. With the model number I found the dates to be 1971-1983. This is the right era, and it looks exactly right in the photo.

Can't find any serial number - or any number at all. I think it got lost during the many repairs it has undergone.
