Take the body of a 1958 National Bel-Aire, attach the neck from a contemporary National Club Combo or Stylist, grossly misidentify it and charge me pennies on the dollar, and suddenly I'm very happy!
The serial dates to 1962, after Valco had stopped using both this body and this neck. I suspect that the body was set aside due to a grain split in the top veneer. The screw holes don't match any standard pickguard so I suspect this left the factory without a guard. My plan is to have a new guard made and install my floating Supro "Silver Streak" pickup - the ultimate Valco/Gibson parts mash-up!
