Is it a V63 that lost all it's goodies and got standard 4003 parts? (note the reversed surround and it has stereo)
Is it a faker with some real bits?
"B" series?
Special Japan market thing made of leftovers?
Eden.

Because of the square neck heel, I'd say it's a modified v63. Note also that the nut has been replaced.

Didn't you read the text Eden? It says it all right here:
"The bone thickly it is the pronoun model which colors the history of the lock at sound and unique lux."
Which I believe to mean: " This is a 4001V63 that someone used as a parts bin. Sadly, someone swapped the following parts with those of a 4003: TRC, neck pickup, bridge pickup, and tailpiece. Please buy it, and then return it to its former glory."

Hmm. Wouldnt we see a "shadow" of the original treble Pup surround? Maybe even the bottom screw holes? Im not sure if their in the same location as a 4003.

Not necessarily. I've done this same thing with the bridge pickup on my 1992 V63. The screw hole pattern on the rectangular hi-gain surround is the same as the horseshoe...if you mount it upside-down like this guy has (so no new holes). And my V63 has no "shadow" of the original treble pickup surround.
