ok. just double checking.
the list, thus far........
It should have the witch hat knobs for being a '67.
Does it still have the original tremelo arm?
Also, does it have F tuners or Klusons? The Klusons are generally more desirable and are worth a bit more.
Is the headstock matched to the body? If not, does it look like it still has the original finish and logo?
If the neck still has all of the original finish and the original logo, that would be a selling point for me.
If there did happen to be any changed hardware and things like that, they can be tracked down later, but once an original finish is gone, it's gone for good.
check the wiring. It should be cloth covered still.
You could write down the pot codes to make sure they're correct.
There are a couple websites that help decipher the codes. You could print some of that out and take it with you.
The neckplate should be an "F" plate with a number somewhere around 180000 to 210000.
#13, was a left over Strat neck
The original pickups for that era should be dated and gray in color
also check the pots and wiring.. varying color cloth wire is original.. plastic isn't.
The neck plate should be an F plate and like Justin mentioned you'll either have Klusons or F tuners
