Stub Mandrel Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Sorry this isn't vintage, but I thought it might be of interest that Fender were giving attention to neck (and pocket) marks in 2022, perhaps a little too enthusiastically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossyrocks Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Would anyone like to discuss this one? The logo? 42mm nut?

Woodinblack Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 why is it a univeral thing that people who want £15000 for an instrument can't actually take an in focus photo? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 Looks like a mid - late 70s case looking at the ,made in USA under the fender badge, and the headstock decal is nothing I’ve ever seen before , maybe changed when it was refinished , and all the 60s ones I’ve seen were 44mm nut width, be interesting to see the neck date which should be pencil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskwave Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Interesting but its on the cusp at that price. Headstocks been shaved, decal obviously wrong. Orig paint?, cant be sure. Too many red flags for that money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
