Must be a replaced board to go with all the mods.

Maybe it has started life as a FL.

It's a faker, period.

Sergio, are you sure? If that's the case it's one the best fakers I've seen. Asuming it has the double truss.

Not that I'm an expert at any rate...but the neck heel looks wrong, and the PU surrounds don't seem quite right. But hard to tell with 2 pics from that distance...

I concur with Sergio, it's a faker! The seller knows it too, which is why we only see pics from a km away.

Yeah, it has a rather short neck heel. Good point. I did not notice that before. While not conclusive proof, it is suspicious. Some fakers are amazingly accurate on the outside but the shapes of the hidden body routes usually tell the true tale. I wonder if the seller would provide closer pics and perhaps some under the TRC and guard.

Here it is.
How very convenient that the original jackplate is gone...

Yeah, those jack plates aren't very reliable and need to be replaced often....

The price is way too high if it is real, since everything has been replaced!

It doesn't look right. Neck heel is rounded, and has dots with binding. My vote is fake.

The strap button on the upper horn is in the wrong place.

The heels are rounded on all of mine:'76, '77, & '81.
