Pics!
The F-412 is very pretty, and it looks (from the photo) to be in good condition without splits, cracks, or neck block shift. That sliver of a saddle indicates the sound potential of the guitar may be compromised, and the string action may not be able to be set any lower. If you can get any wiggle room in the price for a future neck reset, it may be the guitar for you.
Regarding the JF65-12, the bridge can be readily replaced, though that crack in the headstock could be a bit more worrisome. By definition, any guitar is repairable. Is it acceptable the way it is or will it be worth (it to you) investing in to make it so?
If you really, really want a particular guitar, we are always here to encourage you to pursue it. :biggrin-new:
What is up with the two dots on either side of the saddle. I doubt it left Westerly with those.
Could it be that they hide screws holding the bridge on?

It was a piezo pickup system from 'back in the day'.
BTW, any thoughts on this one... Guild JF-65-12
And, I'm heading back to Norway next month, so buying one there is a lot less hassle than getting one here (regarding taxes and shipping).
The '76 I'm talking about is in Norway, where I live and where I'm going back to in June, so import/export is not a subject here.
