One of the pics above shows a jackplate on the guitar rather than a recessed hole for the jack. Is the added back wood merely an add-on for style.? Also, the Combo 850s have a clearly visible neck tenon, and I don't see that on the Polynesian. John, this guitar has a glued-on back, unlike any other Combo 850s I have played (4 total).I've seen your '57 at RIC as well, and I don't remember it having a glued-on back. Normally it would be on the sax strap ring but this guitar doesn't have that either. The serial number on mine, 85C7XXX, is stamped on the bridge plate/tailpiece this one might have a serial on the vibrato but I've never seen that before. The one that I have which has an identical body has an inset jack, hence there is no jackplate and I imagine this one is the same. Leftybass wrote:I had thought that it was basically a short-scale Combo 850, due to the body carve and it's outward construction, top-carve and all.it is in fact a hollowbody with a 3-piece solid back, so more like a Capri, and specifically a 325.
