I bought a buggered one a year ago and love it- routed and some wood replaced on the back of the headstock. Great old wood tone. Heavy- well over 9 lbs close to 10. Mine has Pat Number sticker T tops. If you look at this for what it is- something to be enjoyed and strictly not for originality- it is the only way to get old wood sound for this kind of money. While a bit off- putting the shaved neck isn't terrible. To me my 69's neck took some getting used to. It tapers a lot and up by the 12 th fret is quite large. I see them on line for $6k with all sorts of mods. The prices have gone up a lot in the last year. Mine has all chrome- this looks more like nickel covers with original TP and bridge.

As chance would have it, I know this guitar and it's a good one! The one piece body '69s are great guitars, and having had nearly as many late '60s LP's as '50s, they're every bit as good :dude:

The heel is unlike any 69 I`ve seen.

Top refinished. Looks like the whole thing has been refinished.

MMMmmm, I`ve seen one 1969 GT thinned but the heel was not touched.
Heres a 1976 Standard with same heel. Just curious.

A monsta.
The op's heel picture looks like the back color is original- they are a much more ochre/gold. The neck is not the original finish though.
