Listing saids 76. Serial number is 77. Can't read the pots.

That truss rod has definitely seen some action.

Even though you can't see the date codes, the pots and pick guard look original. Mine look the same on my 78.

and the neck shim on the body. :?

it looks legit to me too. The only possible anomalies I can see is that there is no "TORREZ" stamp in the neck cavity. Just about every lefty I have ever seen from that era had that person's name stamped in the cavity.
The other anomaly is there is no A, B or C neck width stamp on the butt end of the neck.
Neither of these two anomalies would be a deal breaker for me tho, as I have seen examples where one or both are missing.
