50th Anniversary P (1996)

[mike 110]

Were these basses USA and string through ?

Also , did the neck plate have a specific stamp on it or did it just say Fender ?

Thanks

Yip USA made.
They had a gold individually numbered 50th ann. neckplate with a big 50 on it and a wee 50th anniversary sticker on the back of the headstock and/or pickguard i'm sure.
Dont know about the string through bit...

[/quote]Thanks for that , there's one on ebay with chrome hardware and just a sticker on the rear of the headstock . Looks nice , but funds are low at the minute , so I'll have to watch this go to someone else ...sniff..

Ah, that'll just be a normal American Standard that happens to be from 1996 as opposed to the actual Anniversary model. Those just had a sticker on the back of the headstock.
Weirdly enough I've recently been watching both a 96 Fender 50th Anniversary jazz and a 96 american standard jazz- let both go too.
