Items of concern:

An American Standard of any year should have a micro-tilt adjustement in the neck plate. That's a small hole to insert an allen wrench into as shown here:

The string ferrules in the back look crooked. It might just be a bad photo, but they don't appear to be in a straight line.

Hard to tell in the photo, but the saddles appear to have the intontation screws mounted into the center of each saddle. American Standard saddles from that era were offset to the bass side. Also, the slots for the strings to pass through in the saddles look a little wide to me, but then again it could just be the small pictures. Saddles should look like this, if they're original:

The headstock, string tree, and decal look legitimate.
