I was about to post it, but you had it covered :D

I have a few thoughts on this one:
- it seems blisteringly expensive, even in such good condition (I do like the look of this one)
- if they want that much for it, can they at least narrow down the date range??
- Sorry to hear the owner passed, but if he was so meticulous, honor the dude by at least cleaning and polishing the frets, if you want someone to cough up $6.5k
- Nut looks like it’s chipped off by the E string, and G string slot looks massive - maybe it was strung in reverse at some time?

Wonder why they have it listed as 73-83? Ric has a great SN scheme to find the month/year it was manufactured.

From the picture, it is "NE".
Makes it a 1974.
