Looks great to me! Hopefully it feels and sounds great too.

Beautiful guitar. The vibe is fantastic, and the wear adds a lovely touch.
I also own a '65 SB, and it's from the late '65 period. It features witch hat knobs, pearl dots, but no neck binding. Playing it brings so much delight. it has a wonderful neck profile and warm pickups. And the smell when you open the case, haha it's just wonderful.
I hope it all works out for you.

Sounds like an interesting transition within a transition model you have man, quality. Always find it so interesting to hear about these wee anomalies from that period with Fender.

looks like a winner for sure. it would be good to see under the pick guard for the wiring and pickups, or an assurance that it's never been touched under there. i see absolutely no evidence that the pickups aren't original or any tampering, but it's important to confirm where possible.
7.6 seems light! probably just lucky. my '59 seems a lot heavier but i think mine might be ash.
best of luck!

Thanks for all your comments. Under the hood looks sound and original.

The chrome wear on the trem was something I hadn’t seen before. Californian guitar, but grandson has had it in Arizona unplayed for a reasonable time too.

£8500. Most others are being listed around £10k in UK so I think that’s realistic.

That does sound about right. The one I have an option on is £6500 in comparison.

Based on this and the pics, I'd jump at it if you have the cash.

Yeah, thanks. It's all go but I have to sort CITES documentation out for both side of the borders. Anyone got any experience here?
