Svengali

I want some advice on this guitar, but let's first see if I can manage to post a pic. Photobucket (if that's still the root to go) does not give me the options I'd expect.

OK
Hope I managed. Not easy on a mobile.

SO....

I sent Keira Knightley a message regarding this guitar. I hope she (and anyone else) will chip in with advice.
My dad picked it up on a garbage dump somewhere in the 90s. Someone must have tried to fit it with pickups as it had holes made for all the hardware. My dad filled it up but you can still see the spots.
Now I'd like to finish the job. From pictures on the web I place the guitar from around 1967. I tried looking on the inside for a date and found it but it is a bit unclear to make out.

Can anyone suggest who one might see in Cape Town to advice on what pickups to go for, etc. Someone who might have a special jazz guitar interest. I'd probably need them to let me hear some samples of different instruments as my experience in this field is 0. No use I do my own research cause I don't know enough to tell what aspect of what I might hear should be atributed to the wood type, pickup, amp or player!

I saw a 1 min youtube clip of a guy demonstrating the sound of Hofner vs. Dimarzio something 194 vs. (I think it was) Gibson '57 humbuckers. I quite liked the Hofner sound, but then on further investigation realized the clip wasn't that helpful in that their are several pickups that could be meant by the sparingly-worded description on the clip of 'Hofner by Schaller'. I really don't know where to start...

How possible is it to find some of these less common pickup types over here? And does anyone around here happen to sit on some spare parts that might interest me?

I'll have the job done professionally. Much as I'd like th try my hand at it and have the satisfaction of saying, I did it myself - as a first timer I don't want to run the risk of ruining the instrument.
