Anybody could tell me what is the exact model of this Artist guitar?

The only I know is that the bridge has been replaced.

The serial number is K775454. Is an Artist guitar of 1977.

I have several images:

2618 with non-original bridge and tail piece.

Oops, the truss rod cover is cool, but non-original also.

Johns, that truss rod cover was available from Japanese "custom-part" firm called Double Eagle, they had all kind of brass fittings and replacement parts in the 80īs.. :-)

There is a discoloration on the top beneath the bridge and the tailpiece. It looks like the guitar was equipped with a Kahler in the past...

Yogi:

Now that you mention it, that does look like a large square filler behind the bridge, extending down past the stop tailpiece. Just what you'd expect to see if there had been a Kahler, at one time.
