Check out how the neck laminates narrow as they approach the point.  You can see it on the front shot, but especially on that shot of the back.  Serial Number isn't quite readable on the headstock shot.
 
The flight case is labeled Larsen-Feiten band- same guys as Full Moon I think...
 
Go get it fellas!!

I contacted the seller about the serial number.  He says it's 76 and then a bunch of numbers that are worn off.

Top of peghead appears to be stamped 970.  My eyes are bad...

Wow! SCORPION body!
 
Serial No. range is 250 to 600 on 76'.
I think the bass is 370.

I like the horns on this one. The pistol grips end in a straighter line than usual; hadn't seen it done like that before.
