Good info, and thanks! Incidentally, I went back and checked the serial number on the Trini and it was manufactured in 1965, so I must have bought it in 66. The store was Wallach’s Music City in Hollywood, and I saw where Frank Zappa was working there part-time as a sales clerk in ‘65. The old boy made good, and it makes you wonder how many really good musicians are working in the big music stores these days. There must be more great players than there are opportunities. I have heard some good players demo’ing guitars.

Anyhow, as long as I have loaded up this reply with a lot of the non-essential I might as well mention that I bought an amp with the Trini; a Fender Princeton Reverb. I kept it in my basement until the middle 1990s, and when it wouldn’t make any sound I tossed it the dumpster, only to read later that it was considered some kind of classic unit. Oh, well.
