yeah, it is a strange situation

I dont think the guy selling it has malicious intentions. I am actually sure of that... otherwise he would not do the effort in sending me all these pictures
He also has a case, which corresponds to the case of a 64 mustang (greyish black- orange inside)
have also asked pictures of that
Thing is the person lives in Joburg, and I in pretoria, and to his house iots more then an hour driving (through hell like traffice ;)) otherwise I would already have had a look at it

YOUR BRIDGE IS ON BACKWARDS.


HAHA ITS GOTTA BUZZ LIKE SHIT
I have all my stang bridges on backwards, makes it easier to intimate when strung up :) I don't have any buzz from it being this way. I first started doing it when a jagstang I bought came with the bridge on backwards.

The neck looks a bit too pale, but that could be just the picture. a neck stamp would clear things up. But the obvious stuff (tuners, pickups, trem plate) is enough to disqualify that guitar as "unaltered original".
Oh, right, I think I mixed it up looking at Rob's pics.

Yeah, that Mustang definitely has some replacement parts on it. The L series serial number is "right" for a '64, although that one probably dates to '63. The dynamic vibrato should say "patent pend." instead of patented. The tuners should have white buttons - they switched to F tuners the following year.

My 8 DEC 65 B neck has Pat Pending on the headstock.
