Late 1970's GS'Time Kaster' Bolt-on Neck [GS-1 #22 3/76]

I found this picture on the intertubes and have no idea who posted this.
This is a bolt-on 1 piece neck with the fender style flat headstock. [no tilt] You can always spot a bolt-on by seeing the pickguard between the neck pickup and fretboard.
The body looks like either mahogany or Vermont cherry. This was made in the Vergennes shop or in Darrells' Music store basement. The tone switches are all in a line. This is a late change for the Time Kaster. Around June 1978 Time moved to space at Darrell's Music in Burlington. I was attending UVM in 76/7 and used to visit Darrell's quite a bit before I started working for Time.
In the basement, Alan Stack used to apply the finishes at night. We had our spray exhaust routed into the building drain vents and the dentist office on the 3rd floor used to complain about this strange Lacquer smell! No one ever knew.
