Hello Ken and welcome to the forum.  Very nice Spoiler that you have there!  Please be patient with the serial number lookup.  These can take Mica a month or more to do with all the other tasks at hand.  In the meantime enjoy the wealth of information available here at the forum.  And mostly take pleasure in the great group of people that frequently post as a part of the community.  Continue to Play it Healthy!  Art

Very nice Spoiler! The letters on the serial number tell you it's the version with the 3/4 size body. You can also tell it by the short distance from the tailpiece to the edge of the body.
 
Some nice upgrades too - could be a flame koa top, and purpleheart neck laminates.
