Schecter Van Nuys Serial Numbers
Up for sale is this Vintage Schecter Van Nuys Era Telecaster w/ a 1 Piece KOA body, and Shedua Neck. I date this guitar to late 70's to maybe as late as 1981. With the low serial number, I do believe it's closer to 1979 or 1980. If you found this, you likely know about the Schecter Van Nuys Era guitars, if not, it is the first stuff that Schecter was building. A lot of it was custom order to build stuff, out of exotic woods.
Most of the early stuff is Fender style builds of either Strats, Teles, Jazz or P Basses. Their complete build stuff was the Dream Machine Series, and would be appointed with Schecter pickups,and typically all Brass hardwear. I got this guitar in a trade about 5 years ago, and have researched a ton on Vintage Schecter guitars, and have watched the few that come to market over the years. Mine is the best Telecaster I've seen so far. This is the one you will want. Autodesk autocad mechanical 2012 free download. This beauty of a guitar is a solid 1 piece Koa Telecaster Body. Look at the pictures of the end grain, you will see it does not break, and is a beautiful piece of Koa at that.
I also have scans of the original Schecter catalogs, that confirm the wood code of Koa for the body, and that the neck is Shedua. It is similar to a mahogany neck from what I feel.
The body stamp code is F6290 (will show for Fender Tele KOA wood) The neck stamp code is F7270 (will show for Fender Tele Shedua wood) Overall in great condition considering this really doesn't have much of a finish on it. There is some wear and tear on it, and little nicks, dings, and chips on the edges, but nothing super unexpected from a guitar that is from this era. Originally, this guitar likely had all the brass components and Schecter pickups in it.

Dec 8, 2014 - Your guitar is a partscaster made of genuine Schecter Van Nuys parts, but is not custom made in the californian shop. It lacks the Serial number.
Some time long before I got it, the pickups were replaced by what appears to be vintage 70's Fender Tele parts (I do not have any of the original Schecter parts. Wish I did, they'd be amazing to retrofit to this). The bridge pickup is stamped in a style I've seen Fender use in the 70's, but the bottom of the neck pickup is not marked. The pickguard is an AllParts brand. The holes did not line up to the original pickguard screw holes, but the AllParts guard is only held in place with the 5 screws that do line up (no extra holes drilled).
