Title: Early '73 Jetglo on eBay, listed as '74

Full width inlays make this a pre-Apr. '73. Toaster and split bridge can be seen in the pic, with some Photoshop work I think I see sharp corners on the treble pickup surround, which are correct for an early '73 (74's have radiused corners). It should have checkerboard binding but I can't see it in the pic.

I agree with you about the pickup surround. The checkerboard binding could be there but just not picked up by the camera.
