Saw this listed at the Detroit,MI Guitarcenter and it looks a little off from the one I have. Below the neck the body only goes to the pickguard edge right at the bottom of the neck. Mine has wood beyond the pickguard and about midway to the last fret. Modded or just an earlier version?

Whats your thought? Better yet has anyone in the area checked it out?

Mines the one in Paul's book. Paul got me in touch with the guy that bought it from him and later listed it on Talkbass.

I think the one in question is not "normal" but it's hard to tell if it left the factory that way (possible, as each instrument is finished sanded by hand), or if someone in the ownership chain had a hand in it. But of all the C64S basses I photographed, none had the lower cutout done this way.

Actually, the satin FG C64S in your book is similar. Perhaps not quite as extreme but very close.
