my76strat Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 05/29/2015 11:47 pm I found this 1969 S on a recent CRH. It shows signs of doubling and I'd like to see opinions about its cause. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Also, it has a flat, shelf like appearance that is a tell tale sign for machine damage. Keep searching, though, and you'll find something! Report this Post to the Staff

my76strat Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 12:29 pm Thank you, Coop. I had heard of machine damage and Machine Doubling; thinking they were completely different occurrences. I appreciate your enlightening me as to their synonymous nature. Report this Post to the Staff
