<li>I'm afraid tew type here on iss won. I'd luv tew haff it at $76 HEE! HEE!
<li>Oh well here goes. I hope I'm rite and sumbody don't git burnt.
<li>First of all yes, slotted truss rod adjustin cap that late. Ceen a number of em.
<li>The liddo dark hole where the nut should be tells me a hi-mounted truss rod creating a more rounded plug than later wons.
<li>Fi could cee up close I'd lay odds on the fact that it has a small crack on the headstock side of that nut slot from the fret board surface down tew the plug.
<li>Sweet spot iss perfect but could haff been created later.
<li>Butt shape iss rite arm and I suspect if those tew pencil marks are real that the thang wassa template that 0le T.G. used as a sample for the new help (his number 3 neck) up until a decision was made tew put some wider 12th fret markers on it and git it out tew finish shop fer sale before it sat around tew long.
<li>Here from 20,000 feet the tuners look good. The "D" tuner looks tew haff an offset hole but again I'm a long way away here in California.
<li>No decal ???? Well hush my mouth that waz (back then) many times, the first tew go jes before the finish and volume pot went.
<li>Course it could be a MIJ fiddy tew reissue all gussied up tew look old.
<li>Wish I had it here tew pull that truss rod cap nut and the tuners.
<li>Wunner watt they had it mounted on that used them extra holes.
<li>Oh well, watt twill bea will bea I reckon.

<li>Wanna guess the final price extra holes and all??
