CamdenRob Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Nice japanese P just around the corner from me.... if I wasn't trying to downsize a bit I'd be picking it up on my way home tonight.

CamdenRob Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thinking of taking a punt on this.... Anyone see any reason why I shouldn't? looks legit to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Seems like the Serial number is a digit short. E and five numbers instead of six... I had this with a US jazz once where it was a serial number destined for the export market to exclude it from the Fender US warranty.. I'm assuming this is something similar.

HowieBass Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The serial to me looks like E856566 or E856666, either way it's a six digit number after the E which Fender says means 1984-1987 http://www.fender.com/support/articles/japanese-instruments-product-dating/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Ah i didn't realise you could see it on one of the pics.... the guy told me it was E56566 hence the confusion. I'm picking it up tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
