Shoot - I thought the tuners helped to narrow it down to mid to late 60s... :

Can anyone tell me if that front route has been enlarged over stock ? If there's any pictures anywhere of a 450 with the pickguard off (and a picture of the tailpiece also) that would be great. I can work on 4000 series in my sleep, but I need the collective here to point out some obvious stuff to me.

Pretend it is a 6 string piccolo bass and you will do just fine. Toasters or HB-1s, Floyd Rose vibrato (did I just say that???

), locking tuners and your rockin'!
