1975 Fender Precision in 3 tone Sunburst

You will be hard pushed to find a 75 Precision with the colours as vibrant as this one with no fading

So how is this so you may ask, well it was sprayed over in nitro black in the late seventies and luckily 

whoever done it did not rub down the original finish.

When I got it I was able to see the original finish below the black where you would rest your arm so I

painstakingly removed the black a bit at a time and was able to save the original finish, as you can see it

turned out pretty good and leaving the marks that the checked black finish had made which looks pretty cool

The maple neck has the usual flaking of the varnish on the side of the board, not uncommon. This has been

gently rubbed down on the side to flatten it out so you wont feel the roughness on the fretting hand, the back is

as smooth and easy to play, sort of a satin finish

 

Frets are in good condition with plenty of life left

Tuners turn nice and smoothly

Nut width 40mm

Truss rod turns both ways with ease

Good decent action with some room to lower if needed

Weight is just under 4.6Kg's

Pots are dated 74, pickups dated 75

The scratchguard is a period correct replacement, original had been replaced when it was sprayed

Just the bridge cover

Currently strung with flats, probably explains the condition of the frets

The bass has been loved and played as can be seen by the neck, no damage to the body 

Hopefully I have covered everything but fire away if you have any questions
