The Lynx series were divided into two eras - the Crucianelli and the Eko (with the latter being a co-operative effort). The Crucianelli made versions had smaller 'f' holes and the type of pickups normally seen in the photo above, and subtler burst paint jobs,then Eko joined in on the construction of the bodies with larger 'f' holes and more dramatic paint jobs. The Eko ones also had the 'Vox' single coil type pickups with the chrome surrounds. The 'Lynx' is basically Crucianelli, the Super Lynx series is Eko. The Super Lynx Deluxe had the Bibsgy vibrato.
The three pickup variation is the Bobcat.
Here is a very early 1964 Crucianelli made Lynx - notice the paint job. Very subtle shading off to the edges. And of course, the 1st generation Lynx's had the 'batwing' pick guard.

The Blue Book distinguishes between the Vox Lynx and the Super Lynx Deluxe. The Lynx is described as the 3 pickup model and the Super Lynx Deluxe is the 2 pickup model.
Is this right? I normally think of more pups as designated "Super".
If Zack is right then you benefit since he values the Lynx at $650 and the Super Lynx Deluxe at $750.
Either way, congrats on a great purchase. sb
