Cool story and cool guitar! I like the early features (no phase switch, Hagstrom bridge and tailpiece) and it looks like a maple body.

...and it looks like a maple body.

No, that grain is not maple. Seems to be lightly quilted mahogany.

That makes it even more interesting!

That makes it even more interesting!

Could be also some different body wood, not sure what was used at that time for solid bodies. And those "quilted" effects could be just in the lacquer from the heat, impossible to tell from the pictures for me.

Yeah, if it was for sale - I would have figured out a way to snap it up.
