The condition of this is unbelievable for its age. Has just come back from a service where it has been cleaned and restrung, and now looks a near brand new guitar. There is, however, a part of the pickguard that has been changed by the previous owner.

:roll: :roll:

It's also listed on Ebay. Need to see the pot numbers to tell the year for certain. Could be as late as an early 80's

Has anyone gotten more info/pics from the seller? I emailed twice through eBay but no reply. I'd love to see the pots, under the guard, etc. It's disconcerting that I've heard nothing, especially considering the shipping cost risk if returned.

Why are there two different serial numbers in the neck pocket?

Looks like Arctic White to me... not Olympic.

Two serial numbers in the neck pocket usually means that the body was originally paired with a different neck at the factory, and that was changed to fulfill a custom order. You can see that the top sticker matches the serial number on the headstock.

So... I'm guessing that body already had a completed neck with a maple board made for it before it was used to fulfill a custom order of some kind.
