each pic was at lest 3 mbs each :(

Im just wondering if the pickups have been changed if its at lest original, and maybe if its worth restoring to factory, just looking for opinions, and if i have anything special here :)

Wow that thing got played didn't it! Everything looks original (to me) except for those 3 small switches. I'd say it was made in late '68 or '69. Very cool to have the original hang tags.

Man. that looks great! The electronics have been modified, obviously. The humbuckers would have originally come with gold covers. You would have to investigate into originality. The guitar, as someone said looks 'played' but appears to not been molested other than additional wiring....Cool!
