This guitar was made in 1973 BEFORE Smallman began with the features you describe. It is, nevertheless, very similar to his later guitars in the quality of sound and volume. As a matter of fact, I like it quite a bit better than most of his later guitars with lattice bracing, laminated back, paper thin cedar top, etc.
