Basically what we have here is a 1976 neck on a MDF body. The bridge appears to be an early version as it says "Patent Pending". Pickups appear to be from 1966 from the date but I don't know how accurate that is. Tuners are actually decent Schaller tuners used on the Tele Deluxe in the 70s. Not sure about the rest of the electrical wiring. Pickups look to have been rewired.

Switches are black. Switch color is dependent on body color I think. Blue and red came with black switches and white came with white switches. Pick up covers should match the switches. Some wiring looks like original cloth. There's an obvious "repair" as noted by the electrical tape. There is some newer wire as well.
My first instinct with this guitar is seek out a new body, but what year should I look for? Should I match the 1976 neck or the 1966 bridge and pickups? Should I try to sell the tuners or just use them on this guitar? They're probably better quality than the correct tuners.
What would you do?
