I am since two weeks a happy owner of SF IV with serial number 42090, which according to lists was manufactured back in 1965.
But I wonder if somebody can inform me about where it was made.

Yup, I can! It was made in Hoboken, New Jersey.
By the way, what finish is it? Sunburst, Cherry ....... another finish?

Hallo Hans

Thanks for info. Now I have to learn more about Hoboken.....

Well mine is now in a mahagonny finnish, as we ( the dealer and myself) believe that the original cherry color (reminisenses in the F holes) been "sanded" off for some reason and then laquered.

I will arrange a photo and send.

It misses its pick guard and I might look for a one later to get in "original" shape. Switches, pick-ups and potis looks original.

Best rgs

So this is it. I'm getting to like it more and more even though the "color" is not original.
