bassjamm Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hello everyone, Just a quick question for all of you vintage Fender heads... Did the 60's Precisions ever come with matching headstocks and in in bold colurs like lake placid blue, candy apple red or blondes etc? Thanks Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yes, but they were more common of the Jazz range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telebass Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Matching headstocks were VERY rare on Ps, even when in custom colours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undoubtedly more common on some of the other models- particularly the Bass VI and Mustang- and more common on the Jazz than the Precision, but certainly available. Now, competition stripes, that's an entirely different matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The catalogues are not reliable guides as to what colours were available. Matching headstocks could be had on anything during the 60s, but to special order only. Production custom colour Precisions with matching H/S are very unusual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it been my intention to refer to the printed publication media utilised by Fender across the decade referenced, and I employed language inaccurately, I possibly would have referred to "catalogues". As my intention was to refer to the "list" of models produced, or released, by Fender across the decade referenced the usage was, correctly, employed. Maybe you were confused by the duality of English language? And perhaps, before attempting selective quotation in future you will take into account sentence context, and refrain from misrepresenting other people’s statements. I would also refer you to the text of the original post, where, at no point, does the author state his question is specific to either production or custom models. In this context, as you yourself concede, the information detailed by my posting is correct, and was stated specifically to assuage the impression given, in the post therein quoted, that the item in question was, most likely, fake - although I suspect a statement genuinely made to stress the doctrine of caveat emptor.
