I hadn't seen it. I was thinking mine was a 1973, but I'll have to go back and look. The picture of the broken truss rod cover reminded me that mine is broken also and I need to get a new one. Finally, this reminded me that I wanted to at least try a Viper 3 and saw one recently for sale at a reasonable price, but it was right after I bought another guitar from Al and didn't want to get in any more trouble.
Maybe if I wasn't so forgetful I wouldn't have so many reminders.

Thanks, Paul. I have all the pieces, so I'll just glue it, unless you have one laying around.

FWIW, the guitar in that pic is closer to 1980. That's about then the new bridges came out. I bought my first one new in '78 and it still had the original brass bridge.
