I like this and im tempted to go for it. The colours remind me of them strawberries and cream sweets...
Apparently its a mid 60s model with a repro neck. The seller says its set up for 'slide' which translated means- it plays like a bag of shit. That does put me off.
Thoughts anyone?

i think it would look pretty decent without that ghastly pickup ring. nicely aged too.

the new ones are better made and probably cheaper than that.

I'm betting the PUP ring hides the routing, which was probably done with a butterfly bit and a chisel.

Definitely a play before you bid deal - I'm right into my Dano's (being a card carrying homophobe), but would advise caution on this one.
