Great Andy, some comments:

re: 1994 360/12 SPC - 1/2 had dots, 1/2 had inlays. They were 1993SPC on the warranty card; the ones with dots are 1993 reissues for sure (they all are IMO, what the warranty card says is the authority for better or worse).

Add the noirs!

Add the not-noir cream mocha and matte black w/ no inlays!

Add the '96 360v64SPC -> a 360v64 w/ an F hole.

Add the '01 730 FH's!

It's an opinion, but the special runs that were really just a color (ex: skyglo) are better in your special colors article vs this. IE: put the color variants (ie: standard appointments other than color) in one place, the special models that had different features beyond the color in here.

These are always fun to read ty for taking the time!

So the Noirs and the LMC guitars were post 2014, and they are covered in part 2 that just went up. I'm lacking photos of most of the other guitars you discuss--all the various 1993 one-offs and "sorta reissues" deserve a post of their own, I know you have photos you can share...

Excellent history with fabulous pics and the story of each special run! It's a keeper for me and I'm really looking forward to Part II.
