i just realized that i bought something from this seller a while ago. he is the slowest shipper on ebay. took him a month to ship it. and looking through his feedback, it looks like that wasn't a one-time thing.
That basically says that it's a real Fender and was a special edition made for the US army in the 60s. I feel a little sorry for the person who's bought it but then I suppose there's a good chance he knows what he's getting and has just overbid to a ridiculous amount.
the lower bout alost looks toronado-ish.
i remember comparing all of my servicemens together and finding out they were all drastically different(in terms of body size and proportions)
and i compared all of them to my u.s. re-issue jag and found that none of them were even close, they just looked close from a distance.
