Tom,
Thanks for posting the numbers.
I have the brown shaded AT-3 from the brochure. It's # 524
Your PT-5 #517 is most likely the guitar from the brochure.
Since I don't have any official records or really remember how many were made we can assume...
All the 'new' style controls thru the back instruments started at # 500. [ATs/PTs] Your Green AT-3 #601, purchased after Time shutdown, means there was at least 100-124 AT/PT guitars made. Or it could mean that the Green ones weren't selling well that year. Just like Sad songs & Waltzes. [That's from a Cake song that always made me laugh.]
Cheers, Chris
