I'd prefer it if ALL the strings were on the neck

A minor adjustment I'm sure.

Sure looks pinky-new...

Generally all there IMO, but I do think the TRC is a V-Series replacement...similar, but different, to the original.

Right on leftybass. That is a post-'97 reissue TRC. The guitar does indeed look very unfaded/aged for a '67. COuld be the pics though. Nice guitar. Despite their large and somewhat ungainly pickguard, which I think hurts their appeal, these guitars play great. They are a very underrated and underappreciated RIC.

It does look awfully pink, but I found when I took pics of the interior of a case, the lighting & flasn/no flash setting made large differences in the hues. I'm merely an amateur photographer at best.
Maybe the seller is also & that accounts for the color in those shots as well.
It is a pretty thing!
I'd never noticed the pickguard is cut out around the bridge before.
