[quote name='The Burpster' post='97401' date='Dec 1 2007, 08:50 PM']Well we'll find out now as I bought it....... (and I'm not telling you how much I got it for !!!! )
What I have found out though is that according to the blue book the 5 strings were CIJ, but this is definately a US made beast. It has a low serial number too so I'm going to email Fender see if they can tell me anymore.....
It will need soem work doing.. The nut is playable but willl need replacing. The frets wil lbe dressed and levelled although they aren't that bad.
Several bits of corrosion are being sorted, and although I will keep the plastic bucket type knobs I'm going to put black metal ones on.
It all seems to be pretty authentic, and it has been played a bit, but not abused.
As to sound, I have no idea yet as the strings were knacked and it was filthy so it currently being stripped and when the new bits arrive I'll re -string it and set it up.
The neck is devine......
Oh and Andy if your source has any more "not very good" recommendations, please let me know......
Does he pick out horses or lottery numbers?
