Hard to tell from the small pictures. It definitely could be a '62RI body, but then the fretboard should have been rosewood. I cannot see a hint of the serialnumber anywhere, of course it would be so small that it wouldn't show up anyway.

Doesn't look to have threaded saddles either, again it is hard to tell...

Hmmm... Maybe I should ask for pictures.
