Does anyone recognize this guitar?

I saw this on Ebay and was curious about it. I can't seem to identify the model from Ric's website and would like what it is, what it would take to restore and if it's worth trying to restore.

That is one of the early "student" models with a very short scale length.

Is that all it "requires"? The hardware? Seems like it has been butchered up a bit to me

Here's an older picture of my nephew with his Model 1000. He's since graduated to a 650S.

Here's another pic of Bobby's 1963 1000.

A very nice move on your part Richard. Bobby will never forget this guitar and who got him started in the biz.

Peter, I can not take credit for Bobby's interest in guitars. His father plays with two bands and has more than twice any many guitars than I have fingers. However, ever since Bobby could speak, he had wanted a red guitar like his dad's. The only red guitar his dad had was a 360/12FG. I was just lucky enough to find the guitar at a LA garage sale for under $100.
