It's a Kalamazoo build. They used 6-digit, stamped serials even after the Nashville plant moved to 8-digit decal serials in the mid seventies.

Welcome to the forum. Montreal is one of my favorite cities on the planet, I'm jealous!

Here's a thread about my (former) similar one:

Yes, this 6 number serial nr. form lasted until even 1976 in Kalamazoo (but fairly rare in 76, replaced with 8 number form in 75). Interesting is, that most began again with 9 like early 70s and 71s.

Very sweet!!!

Nothing is more classic than an ebony LP Custom, and being a Norlin just makes it that much better!

Thanks for posting the pics!!!

Note the Schaller tuners and Nashville bridge.

It is a short tenon too?
