PSA: anyone looking for a case, Sound Affects just punted up a bunch of new and used ones on eBay, but around 10% cheaper if you visit their website.

@liamon - it looks like the bridge needs moving back a bit on that. The only 480 I've worked on also did... looks like it might have been a bit of a standard thing with them. It's easy to do, you just need to drill two new holes for the baseplate mounting screws, and both the old and new holes will be fully covered by the plate if it ever matters.

It looks like it's very slightly off to the bass side as well - looking at the string alignment over the fingerboard - so you can cure both things at the same time. I would do it by first moving the bass side back by about 5mm using the treble-side screw as a 'pivot' (slightly loosen it), then put the new bass-side screw position in and do the same for the treble side. That will guarantee a perfect fit and move the bridge very slightly towards the treble side.

It's a 480 model from 1975.

Good spot.  No, a labradoodle.  Answers to the name of 'Truffle', amongst other, less kindly meant things on occasion.

Here he is, about to set off for his holidays last week.

Gotta say though, utterly bonkers company.  Neck on my 360/12 is like a freaking toothpick, this one is so wide it feels like a classical guitar or something.

@JerkMoans beautiful dog you have there! What are the main differences between the 620 and 660. Neck width and tailpiece and pickups?

yep, and pickups. That said, the necks on 620s are pretty hefty too.

Looks like a 660 in Mapleglo.
