Well, I was hoping to hang on to this beauty - 'this time around' - (especially after having new strings & a pro set up - so it now once again plays like a dream) but something I've been after for a while has cropped up & this is the only piece of kit I own that would provide enough funds to buy it! In virtually mint condition - no dings, buckle rash etc - this is the very rare 'Hotrod' version of the USA Precision which has both the standard split Precision p/u AND a Jazz pickup at the bridge position - hence not only do you get the familiar 'industry standard' Precision 'thump' - but at the turn of the pan pot you also get all the Jazz growl you will ever need. Build quality & finish are at least not just 'as' good as both my American Standard Precisions I've owned but IMHO is probably even of a higher standard! & at least 'as good' as the the build quality of my old Custom Shop '59 Precision I used to own. Due to these beauties only being produced for two to three of years - or so I believe? - at the turn of the last Century + understandably once someone has one in their collection, they usually hang on to them - (if they can afford to do so of course) & therefore I don't think they come up for sale very often - or so I believe - again. Option of through body stringing, overwound split Precision & Jazz pickups. 30% lighter machine heads, volume, pan pot & tone pot & plays really well, with spot on intonation & it sounds so blinking fab - even acoustically, beautiful three tone sunburst without - as far as my old eyes can tell - any marks or blemishes - not bad for a 10 + year old instrument! High quality bridge with string spacing adjustment, beautiful flame maple neck -which feels very vintage to me + a lovely dark rosewood fingerboard - complete with Fender Gig Bag. Please excuse my dreadful photography - it looks a scrillion times better 'in the flesh' - oo-er missus!! buyer to pay for & arrange an insured courier of their choice?? Please note that if the item I'm hoping to buy gets snapped up - then I will more than likely withdraw this. If you want a try out, or have any questions, please PM me, or text or ring me on 07734 319983. I still have the original receipt for this when I bought it from The Bass Gallery **Please note that the true colour is nearer to the pic of the reverse of the body - which due to my useless photography was a fluke!
