AndyTravis Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 'My luthier confirms it is of the highest quality...' Is he in on the scam too? Or is he your special friend nobody else can see? Picture 4 shows the rear of the headstock, just where the flash hits, you can see a raised decal, as if to show a serial number; he claims it's 'an older usa neck' if it was older than the 1970's 'mahogany' body (*cough* - bullshit) it wouldn't sport a serial number on th back of the headstock. Anyhow, it's a bit fugly. I'm not that worried by it, but i think either the guy is misleading the 'budding Jaco' or has been mis-sold it in the first place. Just thought i'd share it.

Moos3h Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Sadly, it might have been at one time, but the lacquer job on that looks pretty dodgy....shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) i've never seen a fender neck with figuring like that before, they're usually far to cheap to actually use decent woods in their insruments from what i can gather, looks like a copy neck with fender tuners and a mahog body... (why mahog? looks nasty) Edited November 28, 2009 by budget bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
