munkonthehill Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Hello all. I'm getting a mim jazz body on Saturday. The fella I'm getting it from is a really nice guy and I have no reason to disbelieve him that its genuine. However as this is the first time I've only taken a body I'm unsure of genuine or fakes. I have added a few pics and hope you can clarify this for me. Edited August 14, 2013 by munkonthehill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Looks right to me. Good luck with the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Looks good to me, exactly the same routing as my Jazz. Stamps all look correct too. Also, I doubt many people would attempt to fake a Mexican Fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The CNC holes are your biggest clues for MIM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Computer Numerical Control - the clever machines that roughly cut out the body instead of humans. Rich was probably referring specifically to the oversized hole for the neck pickup and the little round hole for stashing your stash under the pickguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkonthehill Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Ok further more could anyone recommend a brand of pickups for this jazz body?? I'm hoping for the neck pup to be very meaty while the bridge pup would ideally be mid/treble heavy and I'm hoping the control panel tone pot will be very responsive to fatten up the pups or brighten them up easily enough. I play purely classic rock, soul and Motown so if anyone has any suggestions then please feel free :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
