rumour6 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 These 'Dan Smith' Fenders are excellent (had several...) Fender brought him in in '83 to sort out producton quality issues... these are the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has all the refinements Fender brought in at that time - biflex truss rod, beefed up bridge, four bolt neck joint with micro-tilt, etc. I paid a lot more for mine so this looks like a real bargain. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Dan Smith joined Fender from Yamaha in 1981, the 1982 models were the what collectors call the "Dan Smith" guitars, made in small numbers & its rumoured Fender were losing $100 on every guitar made in 1982. By '83 Fender CBS were spiralling towards bankruptcy & trying to increase production whilst cutting production costs - hence the introduction of the 1 piece scratch plate on the Jazz, the top loaded tele & the 2 knob, non routed trem Strat. Still a nice Jazz though & well worth the asking price. Edited November 4, 2013 by Ashborygirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
