I have been looking to buy this one that is confusing me. Clearly the tuners, pots, nut and likely the vibrato are not original. But the bindings and color seems off too. I'm waiting for a photo of the back of the pups and the pots but thought I would seem advice here.

The back story is that It's owned by a church who got it as a donation from a collector who passed a few years ago and they want to sell it to buy non collectable instruments for church use .....

The case doesn't seem original either

It's supposed to be a 67-68

Any thoughts

And sorry for the short message, but explaining all the errors with this would have taken more time than I had to give this close to Christmas. I just hope no one has been out of pocket somewhere along the line. All the best, Grant.
