could be penciled dates on the pots and pickups. on some strats ive seen a penciled date in the pickup route.

i would say 1960 would be your best bet on that guitar.

sometimes you mite see a neck stamp alot younger than everything else on the guitar. but your neck is 1960 and so is the plate, and that would be screwed on when the guitar was getting put together ready to sell.

so yeah go with 1960 but have a look round the rest of the guitar too.

Can i add a few hundred quid to the value now. 😆

I've also got the original trem bar which i forgot to photograph...

But yeah thanks for your help hurbet, I think you banged the nail on the head with your info you've given me. 😎

Do you guys reckon I should try and source an era-correct tuner for the G-string ? And do you know if these would show up at all often ?

Will get some pics of under the pickguard when I come round to change the strings next. Was consdering trying some flat wounds on this... would you recomend ? Dean Markley strings have been far the best so far on this, IMO.

Thanks again folks. 😁

You are going to want to be very careful about dismantling that guitar, so you better just pm me, and I'll make arrangements for you to send it to me. After all, you can't too careful.

Nope... If you send me your mustang, I may let you touch it. 😲
