A '67 4005 FG... EDIT: some serious issues, almost certainly a refin, see next post for details.

Wow, thanks for the link, Sean. Not mint, definite neck repair and at least a neck refin. And if it is the same one restored by Dale Fortune, then it's a total refin with what was a serious neck break. Plus, the current seller has been warned in an earlier auction and is still misrepresenting it.

Fretless '72 with the goodies... checkerboard, toaster, gap tooth bridge. What a beauty.

Very nice. I never saw such an early example of the pinstripe.

That one has seen a bit of life but still a beauty...

Is that a fair valuation for one of these...?
