1949 - 1955 is my guess.

Fender made several Triple necks in 1947 but they first showed up in the 1949 catalogue.
The last one was ordered in March 1955 when Stringmasters were already available.

I just picked up a Triple 8 Custom about 2 weeks ago and it's dated 6/56 (under the outside neck tuner pan) and the volume pot is from around 10/55. Cool steel, by the way.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Don Sutley on 14 October 2000 at 11:27 AM.]</p></FONT>

I bought mine new in 1954, a blonde triple neck which has turned to a shade of yellow with aging. This old axe still has a great sound which I prefer over the Stringmaster. I think this is due to the fact the strings went through the magnetic field similar to the old Rick horseshoe pickups. The only regret is having only 3 legs instead of the 4 which the Stringmaster came equipped.

The pickup on these guitars is hot as fire .It is in a class by its self.
