Just wow! Normally, I’m not a fan of a lot of fretboard inlay, but this is so tasteful and beautifully done. If money were no object... GLWTS!

Unbelievable there. Someone's holy grail for sure.
Do you know what year it was built?

A quick email to the builder would answer that, and help your sale quite a bit

as i recall in this particular numbering system he used,
the first number is the number of total guitars built the second number is the number of nightingales built the third number, plus 44 (maybe his age at the time or probably better, jerry wests number) is the year built so, 809 239 69 would be: the 809th guitar built the 239th nightingale built and a year, 60+44= a '13 build could be a bit wrong but pretty sure it's something like this after Amilcar came over to work for him from McCabes, he changed it to a simpler system.
