SUPER rare!  And I'm very surprised to see the weight coming at 8.5lbs, as most of the P basses I've encountered from that period were 10+lbs.

ALL ORIGINAL...... Pickguard is "not" original. Curious to see the pickup dates and pot dates. If mint and all original it might be worth that. |

Yep, good catch on that pickguard! Otherwise, looks amazing |

Something a little odd with the intonation? |

Also, what’s the deal with the top of the skunk stripe near the headstock? |

Strings are misaligned a bit towards the treble side of the neck and pickup poles. |

G saddle looks very wrong don't it? Still, a few minutes putting that saddle back and straightening the neck alignment in the pocket would have done wonders for its presentation. |

Something looks weird by the arm cutaway. Looks like a piece of the body is separating, like a crack. And agreed, presentation on this is bad, but the words are sweet... Hmm... |

Oh I totally missed that pic! Not sure what that is, almost looks like a finish or stain flaw though. I don't see any wood missing. |

That stain on the back of the neck looks like thumb sweat staining. Maybe the owner played a lot in the low registry and sweat/wear rubbed under the satin clear coat. I had an old 78 P bass that had this all over the neck. |

The body is so light the neck almost wants to go down! But of course the fretless is more of a rare bird!
