You misspelled "Waverly".Is it really true that these late Westerlys were built to the highest quality standards under Fender ownership in Corona?

Can you post (forward to GAD or myself) a pic of the label?
Word!Not everyone loves a vibrato.
Fits with similar scenarios Hans has described before.Checking the serial number charts, the SF3s and SF2s share the same number scheme, obviously since they use the same body.
I'm going to guess that the body got labeled as a SF3 while it was being made, but when they got to final assembly, they needed an extra SF2 and grabbed a 3 body. Having the label already inside, it's a tad tricky to change it through an f-hole.
Which would be fine, if the tailpiece and bridge were glued to the superstructure. The guy took the vibrato off, and ebayed it. Occam's razor, anybody?Fits with similar scenarios Hans has described before.
I even recall a 6-string acoustic that had 12-string top bracing (was it an F30 with an F112 top?), factory-built (confirmed by Hans), as if they needed an extra top that day and that's what was handy.
What was the name of their hit, again?Occam's razor, anybody?
No. Just no. The regular Bigs have no screws into the top, just the regular three mounting screws and a hole that the strap button fits into, just the same as the harps.
Many thanks to everyone for your input.
However it happened, the guitar seems perfect & will remain just the way it is!
