Also, really like the philips screws holding the plate on. I accept that he has not put any descriptive text on the auction, but the header states its a 66.

Isn't the big F on the neckplate a 70s innovation? Should the neck have a skunk stripe? If we're convinced that this is a fake - and he virtually admits it - we should maybe politely suggest he alter the description. Recent experience shows that Evilbay don't give a fjork. On the other hand, anyone who still believes it pukka after reading his answers probably deserves it. I think if it goes for real money I'll tip the winner off.

The serial number is correct for that year - but it's very easy to get hold of an 'F' neck plate copy with a serial number added (it may even be an original neck plate). The serial numbers weren't put on the headstocks until around ten years later in 1976. The neck on a 1966 Precision wouldn't have had a skunk stripe.... But no - it most certainly isn't a genuine 1966 Precision... it's just a junk copy with a decal & a F neck plate added.

OldGit Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 He's posted all the anorak questions pointing out that it's almost certainly not a Fender etc so anyone who buys it now should be pretty clear about what they are getting ...
