Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 The modern ones I have seen have more threadwinds on the worm gear than these and would have a modern cross-headed bolt. The worm gear suggests that these *could* be genuine pre-CBS ones made by Kluson and the slot headed bolts suggest that they could be an early set as most pre-CBS ones do have cross-headed bolts.

GRUNT Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Thats what I thought, do you know if there is anything else to look for ? Edited August 5, 2020 by GRUNT spelling mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 The corrosion looked unnatural and possible faked to me at first, however that is probably down to being photographed in very bright sunlight making them look more orange than they probably are. Whats the known history of this set? Did you remove them from a vintage Fender or buy them as a vintage set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRUNT Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I took them off a 72 fender jazz, no idea who put them on or why. The aging is genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
