you need to take photos of the guts. i can tell you if its old or not easily if i get that.
anyone who doesn't want to show you whats under the hood is a liar.

thats some good detective work, guys 
I wil stay away from this guitar, but will ask some pics of the guts, just to see what will show up
also the fact, beside all the replacements, that there is no rust on the guitar make me nervous.
On my almost mint 66 coronado, there is rust on stringtree, bridge and every other screw, and the coronado is really mint
thanks a lot!!

i've never seen a post '65 fender with clay dots. they look like dirty pearloid to me.robroe wrote:ffs even my 1972 bronco has clay dots.

Huh. It actually looks like this is a '65 RI that the guy just put an actual vintage neckplate on at this point. That neck has to be a RI neck in light of Rob's post. Everything else looks like a normal '65 RI.

I've never seen a picture that big. Change your camera or photobucket settings.
grrrr... Your computer must be running so slow...

or it might be one of the older '90s japanese reissues (before the 69RIs came out). regardless, it's not what he says it is.Pens wrote:Huh.

to be fair, that bronco doesn't have clay dots.
Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2011 10:47 pm
To be fair, the Decal says Pat Pend like on robroes, and there is no serial where the japanese serials usually are. The neck looks a bit too pale, but that could be just the picture. a neck stamp would clear things up. But the obvious stuff (tuners, pickups, trem plate) is enough to disqualify that guitar as "unaltered original".

I would stay away because if he is claiming unaltered original hes either clueless or lying and his expectations on price are not going to be anywhere near it being a deal.

offer him $300 because it's obviously a kids guitar.

My Jan '65 Mustang headstock says Pat. Pend. and my Nov '65 Mustang headstock says Pat. Pending.
