Hi Kevin,

Just to keep you in the loop. The listing is ready to go but we need to 
get it on the bench once more to fix a small electronic gremlin. It's 
certainly been an education for all of us but we will get there 
eventually. Apologies for the delay. I have listed our findings below 
for you to read in the meantime.

- Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard. Pen marked 3 - 62. We believe 
this is from a USA Fender (imperial sized) most likely from an American 
Vintage series. It is in excellent condition with no dinks, dents or 
scratches. It is worth saying that it does not fit perfectly to the 
body. Truss rod working as it should. Looks to be the original nut, 
tuners and frets. The frets show barely any wear.
- The body looks to be in the original Olympic white finish but has no 
markings to help us identify what it is or where it is from.
- The Master volume and tone pots are dated '61 (21st week) -  304 6121
- One of the rhythm circuit pots is dated '61 (50th week) and the other 
pot looks similar but we are unable to read the code.
- The neck pickup is black with gold stamp EY May 11 '64. This has 
clearly been re-wound at some point.
- The bridge pickup is black with gold stamp AY NOV 9 '65
- The 3 lead circuit switches function with one that looks like it has 
been replaced at some point.
- It has a mixture of cloth and modern-ish wiring.
- Neck plate with serial number L27676 (dates it as 1964)
- Trem assembly plate PAT. #2.972.923
- Bridge & Saddles unknown but metric measures so much more modern.
- Non original tremolo arm, does the job but isn't the best fit!
- Includes Fender G&G Hardcase with keys in excellent condition.
- Weight: 8.1lbs

Kind Regards,
Harriet
