This is exactly like what Robert used from around 1979-1981, except without the Silvertone pickup in the middle.
This just has to be better than the much cheaper (sunburst :x) Japanese re-issue I bought in the late '90s!
Or if you want a more Top Tour look (replace the pickguard with a black one):

Either one looks pretty cool to me! :D
Here's a video of the guitar in action. I'd challenge anyone to see if you can spot the mini-Cure song in there. It's just a few notes, and I'm sure it's not intentional... But it is a Cure song that was played on a '62 Jazzmaster. ;)
