Two years ago I had the opportunity to visit Norms shop. Not wanting to bankrupt myself, I only brought half my life savings with me in cash as we all know cash is king. What he has on display is nothing short of legendary. I was trying to control myself and shop for the best deal I could get on something truly awesome I could cherish forever. It took all the cash I had with me which was half of my retirement account, but I finally found the dream I could afford. I walked out of there smiling ear to ear and a skip in my step with not one...but TWO Fender medium heavy tortoise shell colored picks. It was a life changing experience I will never forget and my Grandchildren can pass them down to their kids as well.

As a guitar builder, I totally understand that, but at the same time, I'm glad these examples do exist. Because, otherwise, we'd have none. Well over 90% of vintage guitars have been well played. It's extremely rare to find them in pristine condition like this, so these people serve a vital historical purpose. Manufacturers didn't keep perfect records back then, so these examples offer a lot of knowledge. Things like the production time and structure, like Norman touched on, hardware types, circuit variations, original unfaded colors, etc. These are museum pieces that are an important part of the historical record. All that said, what I wouldn't do to hear or even play one of these... But good lord would it scare me to even touch one. One bad pick stroke would add more wear in 1/100th of a second than it has seen over its entire 70 years.

I seem to remember Hendrix in a early photo, taken in Nashville, playing a epiphone coronet painted red which he called betty jean?

so....clickbait. You don't know it's the first one. In the video you say "one of the first, if not the first", the description says "one of the first", so your web person thought "that's not going to bring the clicks, I'll stretch the truth a bit". Just let it be "one of the first", it's a sweet guitar, most people coming to watch want it, don't go lying about it.
