How can one tell the difference between an AR-500 & AR-3000 (original version - not re-issue)? What year(s) was/were the AR-3000 produced?

tnx,
michael

The AR3000 was a Real Lacquer Finish, So by now it would have small cracks, It also had wooden Knobs and a wooden truss rod cover, (If I remeber correctly)

They made 6 of them in 1980
22 in 1981

So that is all they made from the records, I have never seen or played a real one.
