sticker
by: Phil

The sticker that can be seen inside the body also is a clear indication that this is not a 1963. It would be an orange sticker from that period.

Not a 60s guitar.
by: Anonymous

The switch in the lower bout was not available until the late 70s. It is a coil tap. I would bet this guitar also has the peghead volute further showing it is from the 70s, look for the bump of wood where the headstock meets the neck.
