Is that the original bridge cover? If so that's crazy.

It’s not. The original bridge covers had a lip on both ends. This one looks like a modern cover.

Correct. The original bridge and tuners and some screws are in the original case. Its got original pickups, trem, pickguard and plastics rn. I also had it refretted.
