Joined: August 2003 Posts: 4619 Location: SoCal | regarding the question on short neck...from Dave: Standingovation Member # 269 posted March 05, 2004 07:14 PM -------------------------------------------------- Long or short neck refers to the point at which the neck joins the body. Just like there are 12 fret and 14 fret acoustics. The Storms with no gap between the end of the fretboard and the pickup are the short ones. The long ones have about a 3/4 inch gap. I'll try to post a picture of the two. The longnecks came out about '71 and have a different neck attachment (bolt instead of wood screw) and a slightly different neck angle adjustment screw. I'm also almost sure that by the time they switched to the long neck that all the storms had model numbers, not the rubber stamped names. So I would say almost for sure that yours is from the 1st half of '68 based on the configuration and serial number. Very nice guitar. Dave | ||
