Slightly different peghead shape—lower bumps on the current peghead design were missing –it just went straight down.
There was no peghead veneer – the wood was just stained a reddish brown
The logo was burned in – no decal
Rosewood fingerboard ( ebony on current Boston model)
Dot inlays of mother of pearl
Cream plastic nut (ebony on current Boston)
INTERMEDIATE:
3/16” steel pot (like Boston today)
Model was made of mahogany like today’s Boston
Rosewood fingerboard
Peghead like Basic model above
Peghead was made of alder veneer
Burned logo
Cream plastic nut
Diamonds on the fingerboard
STANDARD:
Not much different from today’s Sierra
Some of them had SOLID Deering tone rings instead of the hollow ones of today
ADVANCED:
Similar to today’s Maple Blossom
Some of the earlier models may have had shoes on them similar to the Boston
Maple blossom shows up on price sheet in May of 1979
DELUXE:
According to the old price sheet, this one came on line in November of 1979
Chuck said it was created for the NAMM SHOW
Earlier pegheads were black veneer which had the peghead burned into the plastic then white filler was put it. Look pretty good just not as “clean” a line as we see on the decals.
Current Boston model is really a combination of the Basic and Intermediate.

We suggest tightening the head to a G# note, when it is tapped with the strings muted.
