My Balladeer is a model 1111-4, and according to the serial number was made in 1975. Could someone please tell me what the "-4" stands for?

That would be the color code for "Natural" assuming the color code chart is correct.

-7 I think is nutmeg or what the 94 collectors,87 collectors and 30th are sprayed with. each of these may be different brands of color. They all give a sort of aged look.
