Dr Chocolate Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Help please... Been sold a fender Precision that is apparently from 1976, headstock has been painted over and the only evidence there is from the neck? Does the following pic make any sense to anyone? Or have I been sold a dud...? Edited August 15, 2016 by Dr Chocolate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
