Judging by the RKR design, I'd say nearer to 1970.(Ihave two from that era and they both look the same as this)

Judging by the pedals, which appear to be
the narrower cast pedals....looks more like
a '76 than a '66. Alot of these have a
date code on tone pot. Just get the
numbers off that & it will pinpoint it.

As far as I know, the cut-tail changer (as on this one) was introduced around 1970 but the guitars build between 1970-72 were "fat-backs" without the cut-out in the the back apron that this one has, so that would make it anything from 1973/74 and up.

I don't see any pedals to get guidance from ! (Yes on Basil's well-used axe but not on Damir's).

Hmm... the first picture looks like a guitar with wooden necks. The picture below it shows a guitar with aluminum necks.

Am I seeing things???

The tone knob sure isn't 1966 -- I don't know when Emmons switched from the old Dakaware knob, but it was after 1969.
Are there available bushings for 9 or 10 pedals? What is the pedal stop made of -- wood or metal?
