Hi.
We purchased this gold top online as a gift. 1971. It was just under $3500 and arrives next week. Found out after purchase it was "rebuilt" in 1979....new frets, pick ups (though they are same era as originals), tuners, and wiring. The knobs and case are original, and the neck is straight. Body is free of major scratches or dents.
The serial number seems to check out. I can't tell if it's a reissue of '54 or another '50's year...
After looking at it again, I can't tell if the bridge is original. But I am just basing this on other pictures of gold tops of this era...
Any thoughts just by glancing at the images? I am able to return it so that option is open still at least.
I posted this elsewhere but was told I'd get better replies in this pub for this era.
