online ad mystery pbass

One of those days...
Someone is offering an original fender precision. What strikes me as odd is that it has a single coil pickup (as opposed to the split) and a pickguard shaped as the ones on a split coil design.
Normally single coil p's have a pickguard covering the horns and going only up to the pickup. i couldn't find anything similar in google so far.

 

At best it's probably a japanese copy and someone put a fender decal on it, but wanted to check if anyone knew about this particular config.

 

I'm on mobile right now, can post photos later.

 

Cheers!

If I were to guess, it's either a copy with a Fender logo or something that's been messed with. Either way, you're not going to learn much from the ad. 2x poor photos and very little in the way of a description.

Possibly modified Copy. Has not got elephant ear tuners, has pickup like the ones on eBay for £4 yet has a 2 saddle bridge but not thro body stringing.

Not a Fender.

[AndyTravis]

Yeah. No fender there 😐

Knock a 0 off the end of the price and it might be worth a punt

Low-end mid 70s MIJ copy with a dodgy sticker. Quite a lot of budget Ps & Js had those little Tele-type pickups hidden under big chrome ashtrays - here's a couple that passed through my hands:

Twin saddle bridge on the 'Jazz' too!
