Just noticed the ebony board.. Also a very nice touch for that model!
Looks like it's coming with its original case.
The sides also look great! Congrat's Troy! What a special guitar!That back is to die for!
Might I be so bold as to ask where you found this guitar?
she said, “Sure you’ve been working hard...”
You're a lucky man!
I've been following this on UMGF. Beautiful guitar, you're going to love it! Has anyone seen a sunburst f-312 before? I sure haven't.
I’ve seen this one from 7 years ago — so they’re out there.
Hans - with so many replaced parts - is there any "official list" saying how many % of a guitar each part represents? Then we could use that to determine whether or not the guitar is original after so many parts replaced.
Man, O Man, I took out my '65 F-312 this morning and played a few songs. The house is still ringing from the overtones!
Not saying that they don't exist, because I've seen a few, but the one in the video is not an original '67 sunburst. It has been completely re-done with a new top and therefore new bridge and pickguard. The fingerboard and headstock overlay are also replacements and so are the machineheads. Looking at the sunburst finish and the various specs I would say the work was done sometime towards the end of the '70s.

I'd say in general there are only two "super-structure parts" in each guitar. A body and a neck. As long as the neck and the body somehow belonged together during original manufacturing it is an original guitar, no matter of a replaced top or bottom or any other parts. Think a Stratocaster where people freely replace bodies and necks. Now if you had a stratocaster and change the body and the neck to aftermarket parts that makes it no Stratocaster anymore. If you simply replace the tuners, pickguard, pickups, using the original body and neck, it's still a Stratocaster but with aftermarket parts. A Fender Stratocaster body with Warmoth neck would make it somehow a "Parto-Caster" to me. A Fender neck with different Strat style body wouldn't make it a Fender guitar for me anymore.Then we could use that to determine whether or not the guitar is original after so many parts replaced.
