I just got in a junker 1111-6. Easy fixes all around. Beautiful neck angle, no top cracks, just a tremendous amount of cosmetic damage. The worst is the lack of tuners.

The serial number tag is gone, no idea why.

I'd like to narrow the date down. Here are a few key points:

1111-6 (white)
Foil label
X-braced
Black neck

I have a 1979 1111-6 that is virtually identical except for the blue paper label. The truss rod cover might be a tiny bit narrower on the older one, I haven't measured.

As stated, the tuners are missing but the footprint indicates it had the run of the mill black plastic bodied Schallers.

I went inside with a mirror and saw nothing as far as numbers or dates.

Given the information, can any of you narrow it down to a date range? Or is there some other little detail that would help?

The foil label is a help, but maybe there were different versions?

Thanks

Foil label, around '74 to what, '79? Not sure, but I'm sure someone will chime in.
