That makes more since, but why did they switch back to one piece bodies in 77? Did the supply of Mahogany increase?

Probably all of this has been lost to the records kept in the 70s, it's just weird that they actually decided to crossband the body in the first place. I get the volute and 3 piece neck, that's logical considering the headstock issues, but the pancake body seems out of left field to me.
