By the SN it looks like a '66 model,  but the riser design looks more like a '62.  They started putting the year as the first digit in '65. so it could still be  earlier than '65

The riser wood looks like Bubinga (African Rosewood) and I think the glass color is "Artic Grey"

Lost my Bear CD so I can't check it,  Recalling from my limited memory.

Did I make that confusing enough>
