Location: Caribou, ME | New old stock, found in storage after a music store closed. Plastic is still on the pickguard. I paid too much but I don't care. No idea the year, '76 to '82 all look alike and the serial number doesn't mean anything. I'll pop the neck, as some (not all) have rubber stamped dates.
So that makes seven Applesauces in da house.

Location: New Hampshire, USA | The red colors in the sound hole ring look exactly like my '76 Applause. Don't know if that helps narrow it down or not.

Location: Caribou, ME | Got it on my site now. I haven't popped the neck but there was a small tag with the hang tag that said it was purchased (from the distributor) in December 1976.
Crimeney, not even a surface crack. The sides of the fingerboard are still aluminum gray and not black from skin contact.
