Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | Here is a pic of one of the earliest Glen Campbell artist's I have ever seen, featuring a 5-point bridge. Serial # is E006. This is from '69, I assume.
The truss rod cover and tuners appear to have been changed at some point.

Location: CA | Speaking of bridges, check the bridge and soundhole trim in the guitar BEHIND the 1127. What in the world is that thing? |

Both guitars are very nice. Is that an original Lifton case with the one Wayne posted? But I have to say I really like the winged bridges ... but then again, I like outies too. |

Yes, that's the original case...it is the same as the one with my GC Deluxe Balladeer.
Moody's make-over Legend looks great!
I much prefer the 5-point to the winged versions, personally. The wings just look fragile, although I'm sure they're not. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | There were numerous 5 point bridges on textured deep bowls, The early 1117s had this. But I always believed that the winged bridge and artist boel happended simultaneously. Guess not, based on this example. Also have not seen too many E-nnn serial numbers. Must have been a very limited time in 69-70.
Damn, thought my GC custom was the only 5 pointer on an Artist bowl. I wonder of it's the only SHINY artist bowl... |
