 I know she ain't pretty and if you're a collector you might want to pass on this guitar. However if you are a player it just doesn't get any better. Up for auction is a relic from the Woodstock era... 1969. The story I chased down was the original owner played in an "Eagles" tribute band and toured extensively for years until retiring the bass to a recording studio in 1994. You can't duplicate the smooth tones of vintage pickups and it was used in many recordings. The pictures show a lot of finish checking and wear but other than that it's all original and a great player. The serial number is 280000 which according to the Fender website was the last Fender (all models) guitar built in the sixties. If you need more pictures or have any questions please ask. I only use Canada Post for shipping (never damaged a guitar yet). You can get shipping quotes from www.canadapost.ca or pick up in Toronto Canada. As always good luck to all bidders.

On 25-Oct-09 at 15:50:30 EDT, seller added the following information:

 There seems to be a lot of interest in the serial number and the fact that it was the last Fender built guitar in the sixties. Only Fender can verify that fact but the following is copied from their website:      

F-Series (late 1965 to mid-1976) (big script "F" on neckplate below serial number): 

  100000 to 110000 = late 1965
  110000 to 200000 = 1966
  180000 to 210000 = 1967
  210000 to 250000 = 1968
  250000 to 280000 = 1969
  280000 to 300000 = 1970
  300000 to 330000 = 1971
  330000 to 370000 = 1972
  370000 to 520000 = 1973
  500000 to 580000 = 1974
  580000 to 690000 = 1975
  690000 to 750000 = 1976

This is all I have to go on... read into it what you will. Anyone that can shine some light on this... please do.
                                                                      

Questions and answers about this item
 Q: is neck heel dated? Is this a "C" width neck? Is neck straight?
A: Thanks for the question... In the late sixties and early seventies Fender did not stamp the date on the neck. According to the Fender website: V-shaped necks come in two different versions, a more rounded "soft" V... Continue reading
