Hello, this is my first general post after reading many for the last 3 years.

I own a 1115-4 with a paper label. SN 4340 It has a textured bowl with Kluson tuners, and a winged bridge. I am thinking it was built in 1969.

Any idea on how many of these were built?
Thanks

Records are sketchy but I'm going to guess 200-300 of them? The transition from winged bridge to walnut, from shiny bowl to textured, and from kluson tuners to schaller didn't all happen at once so there is no doubt a hodge-podge of 12 string guitars from this era with various configurations.
