Ou7shined Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Aych! Is part of the relicing intentionally not having the control plate and p/g fit each other or was that just how they did it back in '68? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the Custom Shop Time Machine series, they make it look like that too I think it looks nice, still looks like a '68 Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains why so many old Fenders look like sh*t, they looked like that when they came out of the factory. Why oh why don't people just buy proper basses that the paint doesn't fall off, or, ideally, that don't have paint on them in the first place?
