BTW...when I was babbling about my '57, which is doing just fine thanks, I did email (bother) Hans with the question of 1st year of the M20. I recall the answer being 1957. Naturally, I would hope that's the case, being the owner of one.
A few good looking pre-'65 M20s have been popping up on Ebay and Reverb in the 1,000-1,300 dollar range. Maybe you'll get the same playing satisfaction from a less than museum quality version. I get it though, to see and play it in top shape at top dollar, makes it a once in a lifetime opportunity. If you have the discipline to dedicate a monthly payment you could consider acquiring a credit card with a 3K line and a low intro rate, paying it off and dumping the card.
Special guitars cause dangerous thoughts. Maybe sell a kidney. Wonder if it's still sitting in the back room of the store a year later.
