It was played a lot over the years. Has the seldom seen 64 12 tuners. Had a re-fret and new nut made (definitely needed both.) I'd like to pickup another one just to compare it to. I think it was better before I had all the work done, though one of the strings was constantly popping out and yes, the frets were toast.
My December of '64 450/12 has six regular Klusons and six open back tuners. From the factory. And the headstock also tilts forward.
