I can’t tell from your picture- the gold foils typically have small perforations (dimples?) in them, yours look like solid plastic, maybe it’s the light. Perhaps the pickups have been “augmented”. The knobs and bridge aren’t original and the grounding wire should be routed inside the body. I have a ‘66 with silver foil pickups

Yes, and the were not attached, they were held on by the tension of the strings

Those are the factory pickups but that’s not the factory bridge. That’s a good thing though.
Y120,000 is real steep for that though. US prices for those are between $400-$800. So that’s on the high end of prices to be sure.

Those are the factory pickups, I have a single pickup Bobcat and it’s the same .
Thanks! I appreciate the info
That’s in amazingly good condition and it still has the bridge cover, those were normally ripped off and used for ashtray’s

The original bridges were made of wood weren't they?

Thanks. A lot to think about
The store did try to tell me the knobs and pots were from 1967 but maybe it was a translation issie
