I bought this from Guitar Center in Hammond, Indiana. It had been sitting there for some time, so I made an offer of $1000. It showed up with a very nice case & all USA electronics. I suspect the bridge is also not the stock bridge, but a recent American Original or reissue bridge, because the holes in the bottom of the block are shallow
Unusual ash (sen) body:
Electronics. I will redo this completely:
Typical mid-late '60s contours, very different from the deep contours found on the 50s & early 60s bodies:

Pretty sure it's a 67. All the 68s I saw had the "F" stamped tuners, & most of those also had two string trees. Also note the stamp in the neck pocket:
The specs are all over the place. For instance, in addition to the atypical (for the era) ash body, the screw pattern for the pickguard is like a 59-62. The dots have the narrow spacing at the 12th fret, but they are 1/4" dia. instead of the later 9/32".
I wouldn't sweat the small details like that.
How does it sound?
