Wow, that's a beauty!
But definitely priced as a collectible, not a player.
I don’t think the pick guard is original. There was only 1 built in 27, too bad it has that ugly guard.
I agree with Cornfield about the pickguard. I would guess that they would have had a standard shape pickguard, most likely tortoise celluloid.
Here's pics for if and when it sells and it taken off the site:
