Mark VII

[William]

Yay thank you!

I do but they are ugly ones from the seller. The guitar is also needing of work, cracks, hole at the base, bridge is off (but thankfully not lost--particularly for this model), bracing detached, etc. It will be a fairly long time before (i) I get it over to me in the UK; and (ii) it gets repaired by my favorite luthier. I only put this one pic up because this thread is relatively recent and I thought it would be good to have as many labels as are accounted for in the wild from the supposed 10 Mark VIIs in same

Here is my list of Mark VII serial numbers I collected from various places....I know of two Mark VII's that I have seen pictures of but that I was unable to find their serial numbers.....I have pictures of all ten.

Thank you for your video which was very nice to watch and informative.

OK, so mine was number 10 of the 10, and I also learn that only 8 of the 10 were called simply "MK VII" on the label. I presume the other two were "MK/Mark VII Artist Special".

My brother now has CF-242 and it is about to embark on its roundabout journey to the UK. Spruce top. He postulates from the present state that someone possibly sat on it . I will put together a restoration thread once I get it to the luthier. I found these pictures from a Mark VI dumpster find so I know anything is possible!
