These were ordered in '92 and then again in '93 - as gifts as you've said. You have a series of '92's pictured; the '93's had a differently styled upper pick guard w/ Nipper; so it's easy to tell them apart. Santa-RCA was good to those that made the nice-list....!
Excellent point, and I’ll clean it up. My first draft had a pic of the 93 pickguard and i realized it was the wrong one, but didn’t come back and mention it!
