 How old is my Egmond ?

There are different ways to find out when your Egmond was made:

1. The numbering can't help you. I think you can possibly see on it how many were made before yours.

2.When you have all the Egmond catalogues you can look for her in one of these.

So both was ways won't help you much further.

What to do then???

* Look at the type of sticker inside.

*What do the PU's look like,

*What is on the head?

*Is the name egmond "written"t here, she's 60's.

* A lot of guitars have a tin name on them. They differ too. 50's

* The name is printed ( stamped ) IN the head. She's  40's , early 50's.

All Wilsons, Millers, Caledonies  ( those real nice jazz guitars ) are 50's.
