Mykesbass Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I am so far off being one of the forum's Fender experts, but I'm pretty sure that isn't a pre CBS Precision logo. Anyone verify or correct this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahpook Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) The graphics are brilliant, looks like a Durex ad. Edited March 27, 2016 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Imagine spending £250 on a set of strings and then finding that one breaks when you restring because they are so old. Or even worse, you make make a mistake cutting them to length and find they are too short. What a load of bollocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
