Re-finished in Fiesta Red with natural wear / relic look that looks fantastic !The body has some issues:There are several cracks in this body.  Some of them may be only cracks in the paint as the paint has lots of crazing and cracks in it. I simply don't know without stripping the paint off. I can not see any movement from these cracks when  pulling at various angles on the body. They all appear to be stable.The color  / re finish is a very old Fiesta Red which is starting to fade - ( Some call this Salmon Pink ) it  has several dings , chips, wear on the body and as said above lots of crazing / cracks. It looks great as it is, and can be used as it is; but of course if the paint is stripped off, the cracks can be examined more thoroughly.  There are 3 extra shallow holes in the neck pocket that have been filled and as you can see in the photos some of the pickguard mounting holes have been duplicated due to what looks like having a shrunken pickguard applied. The body has been drilled to suit pre and post 1963 pickguard layout so it has one extra pickguard mount screw hole.The body weighs 3.5lbs on my scales and its is approximately 42mm thick.
In short this body is for restoration.
