I wonder if Bear ever did any of the hand cut headstock logos.  Take a look at the little scroll on my '74 logo compared to the scrolls on the wood carving he did for Jack's bass.  Would be cool if he did the logo   but then I guess anyone in the shop at that time could have done that.

   Dammit Rob... now I have to go look at mine! 

*Nope, less detail to the one on 77-621. I suppose it's possible. The design is awfully similar. Scrolls are usually a artistic fingerprint of sorts.

I think I have seen at least one other old one with a swirl like mine

Bear didn't ever work at Alembic, I'm sure he never cut out any logos.

Thanks, Mica, just dreaming
