obbm Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 if the 3-bolt neck wasn't introduced on the Jazz until 1974?

Ed_S Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I can't say anything of its vintage or authenticity, but last time I went into Richtone that thing was in its open case on the floor by the door, and I very nearly (and quite literally) put my foot in it! In hindsight it'd have been an expensive faux pas, but still an act of mercy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I really do NOT like that scratchplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 The stock may carry a 72 SN, but probably not fitted to the body till some time later. It wasn't uncommon. I agree the plate is arse and needs a period correct alternative, but I like it. Im a sucker for maple and blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambo Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I bought a Led Zeppelin CD off ebay last month that the seller insisted was an original 1970 pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So puzzling, but I suspect just a quirk in the serial number used - Fender Serial Numbers are notoriously inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
