Im still unsure on the year...serial number websites lead me to believe its either a '53 or '63...im thinking 63 but have yet to see a 1963 model for comparison. Found a pic of a 1958 which is the exact model and color.
Fantastic condition..90% near mint. A couple dings on edge..havent touched since recieved from late grandfather over ten years ago.

BODY
1958 to 1969: masonite/poplar (or pine) frame, double cutaway "shorthorn" style, 13.25" wide.
