No, never. First the crushed pearl inlays were replaced by poured material, then the inlays got shorter (around May '73), 3-4 months later the checkerboard binding was gone, some time during that year the toasters were replaced with button-tops, and it took another whole year for the 1" spacing (all 74's were half-inch) and raised-letter TRC's. During the transitional period, the neck pickup cavity was routed for both 1" and half-inch spacing.
