Yes, I think the heavy scratches are hard to explain.
Regarding the 3rd pic I have the impression of different wire color on slug and screw side.
Unfortunately I cannot see them in person - they are too far from me.
These are offered in a private sale. However, the year 1959 is not mentioned in the ad.
They measure 8,36 and 7,32 K according to the seller.
$ 6500.-
What do you think about those ? Smells fishy....
Hello richardb64 ,
that is a very interesting information ! Never read or heard of before.
It's a Telecaster . She has F-tuners, but there's a hole to be seen beyond the E-tuner. Looks just like Klusons could have been there before.
Some pics :
I have only seen pictures of it.
Has a 66 heel stamp and headstock logo is black /gold like ´67 onwards.
Picture of logo is not that near , but seems to show an original logo (outlinewise).
There´s another thread about Explorer-books. A member posted a bunch of pics of the guitar. On page 3.

I just made a quick-check, very quickly and not into deep....
The only 6-in-row single-line´s I found were on 1962/63 B-25-12. and Epi Coronets.
After 65/66 you'll find only double-line´s.
Would Kluson have changed the dimensions when changing from single to double lines ? I guess no. Would...
