But did it go "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"?
When I decided (due to it being the Thing To Do) to buy a Fender, a long long time ago, I went to Musical Exchanges in Brum and tried the three second-hand Precisions they had. The most playable of them was (fortunately) also the cheapest, probably because it was also the most battered. There was a huge variation between them despite all of them being 70s vintage (this was around 1985).
