[color=#000000][font=Helvetica]Merry Long Weekend all,[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Helvetica]Business & life plans mean I’m having a cull of all but my absolute essential gear - ho hum - so unfortunately I’m letting a number of members of the family go . . .[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Helvetica]This is my 1973 Fender Precision Serial No. 424231 in sunburst with a rosewood board & black plate. I confess I’m struggling to work out the coding on the neck heel so cannot advise on the neck profile, but if any of you Fender gurus can help please do![/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Helvetica]He’s 100% original as far as I can work out, & in exceptional condition although being over 40 years old there’s a few marks here & there but nothing whatsoever that really stands out. Frets are good & he plays superbly, the perfect low-ish action for me & not much more to say than all works exactly as it should & of course, he has That Sound.[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Helvetica]Weighs in at a very nice 9.0lb dead.[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Helvetica]Comes complete with the original hard case, bridge & pickup covers including screws & the original brochure & a Fender logo.

I’ve not tarted him up in any way & have photographed under my studio lights as they really do accentuate any imperfection - so please be prepared for a pleasant surprise when seeing him in the flesh! Also, it appears that every spec of dust in the universe popped by at the time too, so please expect a much cleaner bass.

I’m more than happy to take more detailed pictures if required & would vastly prefer collection from me so you can try out & satisfy yourself that he’s for you before parting with any lolly - I work from home so am pretty flexible about timings & am 15 mins off the A1 St. Neots/Kimbolton junction - warming or cooling beverages & biscuits on hand - but I’m prepared to wrap up & courier to you fully insured & tracked for an additional £35.00 if you can’t make it to this neck of the woods. Unfortunately due to previous bad experiences this is a UK only sale, with payment via good ole cash, bank transfer or PayPal plus fees.

As mentioned, cash is absolutely king so unfortunately I can’t entertain any trades, magic beans or golden geese please.

Cheers
Tim

Yes it is, I believe plates changed from tort to black in around 1972-1973 but hopefully someone more knowledgeable will confirm.
