Looks quite like my 360/12v64 but with the hot pickups. A vintage guitar perhaps or a modified 360/12v64 or 360/12C63?

It is a 80s 360/12WB. Note the 24-fret neck, bound soundhole and round neck heel.

Orders were taken until 11/95. Paolo's got a '97.

If you pause the video at 2:02, you can clearly see that the sound hole is not bound. My '91 FG has one and from that kind of angle it would show up quite clearly.

I don't have one here at the moment--they're all at home--but I'd say about 7 or 7 1/4"...

Unbound sound hole, Kluson tuners= late 70s model or super early 80s at the latest.
