I have searched the forums and used the guide chart on here and from what I gather from this information is that it's a 1960 neck, though Ive been told it's a 70... I dont see an "L" or and "S" anywhere.......

If anyone could shed some light on this it would be great, I wanted to rebuild it from parts from its year but times are tight and I haven't done anything with it for a year now and I don't want to mislead anyone....

I could if the neck stamping was complete. As is the case about 50% of the time I can't see all 8 numbers. If there are numbers missing at the beginning then it is 1970, and at least one number is missing from the beginning for sure. There could also be one missing from the end which could mean it is a 1973.

I can't tell where the numbers missing from but that headstock decal is for sure 68 to 76. Without all 8 numbers guessing is a crapshoot depending on whether numbers are missing from the beginning or end or perhaps both. I really don't think it is a 68 or 69. I'm not seeing numbers there which would support it being a 68 or 69, but it could be a 70 or 73. I'd go with 1970 as the earliest possible date.

+1 on the decal. Totally missed that until I saw your post.
