From my understanding late 73 was when they started changing from tort to black and both were around in 74 , with most of the black guards having the thumb rest E side, haven’t seen a 75 myself , I suppose it’s possible there was still a few lurking around Edited December 8, 2023 by Reggaebass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossyrocks Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Ooooh this is nice! Mike Long at ATB Guitars has just posted this on Facebook. '64 Jazz, Olympic White with matching headstock.

If it’s any consolation to anyone not in a position to partake, we can make ourselves feel better by surmising the only reason it’s in such good condition is because it’s so bad to play it has remained in the case for the last 59 years. No, that’s not working for me either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pow_22 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 A question for our resident vintage fender experts please. Does anyone know what years Fender changed the knobs on their Jazzes from the 'standard' type ones to the strat knobs? Seems to be late 70's/early 80's looking at online pictures but does anyone know definitive years at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Looks like a beauty! I've seen some of those pink tinted scratch plates before, were they produced in that colour or is it something about the way it's aged and possibly reacted to the environment? Interested as my '66 has gone a creamy colour instead, so maybe it's something to do with the different finish or material 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurroundedByManatees Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 From what I've read some of the instruments from this era have a pink tinted scratchplate (especially known on telecaster thinline guitars). Apparently it's a (kinda rare) feature from the factory. Tbh I like the more yellowed pickguards more for looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurroundedByManatees Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 That does not look like a real Fender logo. I´m about 100% sure its not original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single thing about it is wrong. The font, the spacing, the place on the headstock, everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
