This is an early one from 1962 or maybe early 1963. It has an early serial number and the original brown case, it is not a slab board. The pickups are the early flat pole pickups and those have an amazing smooth and creamy sound. Those are some of the best Fender pickups and only offered  in 1962 and 1963. The guitar has some finish wear on the back, not much on the front. It is all original including the case and bridge cover.
