the a width 24 scale neck is the rare of the rare. all 22.5 scale necks are a width so, meh.
tho a 22.5 scale mustang is still an oddity.
the real price is a jaguar 24 scale a width.

all 24" mustang (and duo/MM) necks from 1964 were 'A' width as far as i know, i'm not sure at what point in '65 they introduced others.
Serious de-value, great offer

I appreciate your enthusiasm, Rob, and especially your willingness to pay good money. If I could get $900 for it, I'd take that offer. The 24" scale is definitely worth more...it's more playable for most people.
I'm no vintage expert, so this is just a semi-educated opinion: DuoSonics are not as dear as Mustangs; with the replaced parts and refin, it's DuoSonic identity is compromised and the vintage value is just plain gone. It's a parts guitar now, with a vintage DuoSonic body. Maybe a vintage neck with uncertain provenance.
Parting it out...$400 vintage body, $225 neck, $150 vintage pickguard, $100 pups, $100 caps, pots, switches..
.might make a little more money. IMHO.
Cheers,
