Nurr,
That has some serious MOJO. Put her back to specs. where she belongs. Take some Naptha on a soft cloth and test the finish. Take your time and rub gently. Any corrosion and dirt that gets on the cloth needs to be kept from rubbing it in. Do this outside and in good ventalation. Naptha is flammable so no brisk rubbing and only use cotton cloths.

Those are very good close-up pictures of the (higher) fretboard, showing the punched serial number and also...what appears to be speed frets (!)...apparently highly unusual in Japanese Mosrire copies

The photo on the left shows normal size frets on a Japanese Mosrite. The photo on the right shows speed frets on a 1965 USA Mosrite

Speed frets are dressed down very low so that the player has very little resistence when moving (playing) fast up and down the finger board.
Some people who do not know this might think that these frets are worn down from extensive playing and need replacing Not so!
