TheGreek Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 If it is, it's a bargain..

gareth Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 its not a bargain non-original bridge, guard, pickups, routed for active probably worth about..........................£600 at most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) The head doesn't look right, I'm sure the machine heads don't come that close to the edge of the head stock on a real Fender Edited September 20, 2012 by KiOgon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1964 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's probably a genuine 70s P, but as Gareth says, hardly any of its original! It's certainly not a collectors item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) the neck and tuners look legit to me so for £600 you get an original neck with tuners - probably worth about £400 - leaving £200 for the rest Edited September 20, 2012 by gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uke Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Must be real, bridge a bit too far to the right, meaning G string almost off the fingerboard, like so many 70's Fenders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 its a replacement bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't pay 300 for it. Rather have a nice new Squier. P bass. Late 70s Fenders aint exactly scintillating in their originality and quality of construction. Edited September 20, 2012 by daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 [quote name='gareth' timestamp='1348172683' post='1810501'] its not a bargain non-original bridge, guard, pickups, routed for active probably worth about..........................£600 at most [/quote] Rather than buying an original one for £600 and having to do all that work and buy all those bits to improve it yourself? Bargain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
