Dave: yeah that's where it's stamped and it is a bolt on neck (I think) , it is in need of some repair, one of the pickups isn't being held in very well I think the screws have pulled through the wood and aren't biting into anything and the chrome has some surface rust on it but I think it was a pretty good buy for £75 with the westbury hard case . Now I just need to learn how to play it...
