Nice!

It does look like it has one or two headstock repairs.
Not that it matters much.


BTW last week I repaired the headstock of a The Heritage Les Paul guitar for a friend of mine. It was the fourth time it broke off. And I had the honor of causing the fifth. I was applying the last layer of nitro after I had done the fourth repair (first ever for me). But I knocked it out of the stand, the poor thing for face down on the ground > snap! It broke off in a new spot. Once again proving the glue joint is stronger than the wood.
So I had to start all over again...

Nice!! Even with the headstock repair..... Can't tell if it has the Telescoping Endpin.

I've seen some choice gear from that seller over the years. This one is no exception. Does seem high considering the headstock repairs, but we've all seen worse examples of breaks and cracks.

Beautiful.

Wait, is the tone knob an amber replacement?

Yes, mentioned in the listing.  Jack plate should be brown.

I better not buy it then; I'd spend the rest of my life looking for a brown knob
