Found this crazy 73/74 Goldtop in Sweden.
from the ad:
I bought this electric guitar new around 1974 in Umeå. I played on it with the legendary prog band Harald Hedning from Umeå, available on a CD. As you can see, it has been slightly redesigned for the better in my opinion, which gives many sound variations. It has recently been serviced (Plek, review, etc.) at Sweden Guitarworks AB in Umeå
I actually love it and I dig the story behind it, but he's asking
way too much (around 2500 euro)
This kind of slaps, I'd offer him €1800-2k and see what happens.
I wonder is the neck pickup original? And are the replacement pickups modern repros or from the 70's era?

...this 1966 Stratocaster
I'd call this a Sender Fartocaster.

The real question is why they didn’t trim the guard to match. That’s the real crime here.

That guitar needs to be set ablaze to put it out of its misery. Give it a vikings sendoff.
