Notably, the bridge pickup. It was hot enough to cut through bricks and nailed Pete's tone very very easily. I have pictures of myself playing it, and I'm sure Gary will post pictures of it soon.
I'm guessing spec wise, yours may be similar to the Sam Ash guitars made in 1987... on the right here with a couple of ugly sisters (and my profuse apologies for even showing a guitar with a slash in this thread)

Rose Morris models, eh?
Not the best photos, but here's a group shot of my recent RMs. (as of recently the two on the ends are no longer mine).
From L to R: Sept '64, May '64, Feb '65, July '65
