Whilst the pickup cavities under the guard would suggest that this was originally a single pickup guitar, the control cavity does not look to have been adapted/enlarged to house extra pots and switch. Evidence under the guard suggests that this guitar originally had a wraparound stop bar only with no evidence to the front of the body that there was also a vibrato in place. The earliest dating part of the guitar is the one 1965 potentiometer, the serial number suggests a date of 1969 and the later pickups which date to 1972. Ask a Question Sell One Like This
