In 1966 they went to the large batwing pickguard.
Those knobs are early to mid 60s also.

Definitely a restoration project. As is I would say it could bring in $2500 -$3500.
Sad part is that it may be worth more if you parted it out.
The PUs (I'm assuming Stickered Patent#s) could bring as much as $500 each or more.

Also, a lot depends on the nut width. In 1965 they switched from the 11/16" to a 9/16" nut width. The 11/16" nut width is much more desirable.
The pickups are not original. I'll check on the nut width...
