First Production Sting Ray

Nice. I see the truss rod adjustment is on the tuner end of the neck. When did they move the truss rod adjustment down to the other end of the neck?

The bullet truss nut (at the head stock) was a feature of all Pre-EB Rays and Ernie Ball 4 string Rays up to c. late 1989 to early 1990 before the adjustment moved to the heel of the neck in the form of a capstan wheel.

I've never tried one of the old adjusters, but the current truss rod adjustment setup is GREAT.
