thebassist Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Quite interested in this but don't 2010 model Fender Jazz USAs have through body stringing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smaz Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I believe they introduced string through on US models in 2008 - I bought my US precision that year & remember it was when they introduced a few new changes, that being one of them.

thebassist Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) I'm no expert but I guess it's either a pre-2008 US body or a post-2008 non-US body? Looks like a real nice bass. Love the look of the neck. Edited December 27, 2014 by thebassist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Jones Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think the re-introduction of through-body stringing was made before that. My 2000 US Jazz Deluxe definitely had it. It's quite hard to find out when the change was made for American Standards, but I seem to remember one source saying it was introduced as far back as the mid-nineties. Of course there are other US built Jazzes than the Standard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Is there any chance this is a US Highway 1 model? That would explain the Badass Bridge, thin Nitro finish and non-string thru body. If it is, they were super basses in their own right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I'm sure it is. Mr/Mrs Aguilar is (was) definitely a Fender employee and I've certainly owned Fender US basses with the same stamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
