Looks like an early 70's.

Really cool, and by current standards this isn't a bad price even with the frets removed. But it really needs some better pics to be able to properly gauge the condition this is in. And I would want to see that neck pocket in a bit more detail, as there appears to be a gap on all three sides. And I'd want to know if that's the original finish, as it looks a little streaky and lighter than the Torino Red or Dakota Red I think these came in? (even if it was just called "Red" for the Musicmaster)

Also note the strap button at the heel. Could this have been owned and played by a righty?

Headstock decal looks odd too.
