Wow! So clean! I have a '63 VII, but mine's a little earlier, I think. No bird on the guard, and there's the black RT ring. But mine also has the weird scallop at the base of the neck that a few early ones have.
That's crazy cool. Have you lifted the neck pickup to look underneath? There were a few prototypes out there that actually had set necks instead of neck-through. I know one guy on MLP (who's probably on this forum as well) who has a '62 set neck Firebird.
What's your serial start with, out of curiosity? Mine is 144xxx with pots reading 33rd week of '63. My '63 III has a 145xxx serial with pots from 34th week of '63. I'm not fully convinced the III is a '63, though it's weird to think that all four pots matching so closely would have held it back from getting sprayed by another 20 weeks.
