Here are all the pictures I can find at the moment of Akira's, not sure which ones you found. The best picture I've been able to find is this one, a '69, so one of the very first in that era. Wikipedia also says that maple fingerboards were added in 1976, so hers has be 1969-1975; "early '70s" should be acceptable.

We have one more band to deal with: Love Crysis's two instruments. (In the movie, the animators accidently used Yui's Les Paul as a reference, so disregard this.)
