Good Lord!
That looks so fantastic in that color!
I wish I could afford that, what a bass!

Hard to know if it was a true lefty or a lefty conversion with the refinish going on.

Looks like there are fret markers on the under side of the neck (right-handed) along with on top (left-handed).
EDITED: Never mind, I found another period Gibson with the same.

Of course this shows up right after Monsterman got done with his semi-hollow body conversion after waiting to find a lefty

That's just how it goes.

The orange label is on the proper side for a lefty.

I had a factory lefty'66 Guild Starfire that had dots on both sides of the neck; I'm not surprised a Gibson from that era has the same thing.

Many of my early 70s Gibson Les Pauls have the dots on both sides of the neck binding, seems correct.

What is the neck profile like on these? Thin and narrow, like a late 60s EB-O? Or fat like the last re-issues of these and the re-issued Les Paul basses?

My '69 EB-2 has a narrow neck, very comfy.
