Haven't been able to find a definitive answer but from what I've seen online abut Melody Makers, it should be between '66 and '71. Modded with humbuckers, not sure whether the 4-pot is a mod or not (I think it is).

Actually a buddy of mine once had a cheapie green LP copy, and to decorate the neck he used green vinylized tape. Looked pretty funky. I'll try to dig up a photo.
