    Thanks for your comments Aero71. Obviously I'm not deliberately trying to commit fraud here so here's what I know about the body. Bought here on basschat as a complete bass a couple of months ago, the USA neck and serial number consistent with 1999 (not 1990 as originally advertised): Some discussion and opinions from basschat experts on its authenticity: And regarding the pick guard, there is no cutout because in the American Traditional neck the truss rod nut is in the headstock. I believe American Traditionals were not strung through body. So, plenty of evidence for this being a US body and none I am aware of supporting it being MIM.

    Great condition fully loaded and just needs a neck, plate/screws and strings and ready to go. Wood unknown but presumed Alder as was paired with a rosewood fingerboard. Pickups have been replaced with Dimarzio by previous owner. Paintwork has gently tanned to a lovely off-white and is very smooth and shiny with no significant scratches as per the pics; three small dings as per the photos which are not visible except very close up and don't detract from the clean look of this body.

    Bought some pickups and pre from Andy. From a deal perspective, great comms and very fast delivery, everything as exactly as described. From a personal perspective, a totally great guy and one of those people who make the planet a better place 🙂

    Hi folks, Just bought a Fender Jazz American and have some doubts about the authenticity. Missing lacquer from the headstock suggests addition of transfers, and the stamp in the neck pocket 'S47843' doesn't match the serial number on the headstock N900765. Any advice on validating? It's a decent instrument but obviously resale value will be hit hard if it's not authentic... Thanks for any suggestions, Tom
