[quote name='tom1946' post='956929' date='Sep 15 2010, 09:43 AM']As title, bought from a friend who left it in its case for the last 10 years with good intentions about learning He does live a long way away so I bought it a bit on spec really hoping I'd like it, I do like the sound very much but it's too big on the neck for me. The first owner bought it new, contracted a fatal disease and never really used it so the condition today is as new. Made in Japan. High gloss see through finish with a great grain, lovely maple neck and board. Fantastic deep sound off the single pickup. String through. Weight as near as I can say is 4.6kg. I have a rectangular hard case (not Fender) that comes with it. They are not made anymore and this is the nearest you'll get to a new one, totally unmolested. Looking for £500 delivered, firm. The only trade I'll consider is a MINT USA Jazz that I don't mind adding a few shimblats to as I know they are worth a little more. Thank you for looking.[/quote] Tom as Im very interested can you qualify the age you state is correct as the serial number comes back as 2009 theres also a P on sale on the bay with a similar serial No also MIJ and thats dated as 2009???
