That Walnut Jazz is gorgeous! There's an '82 all-walnut Fen. P I've been gassing for on CL that had me searching for more,and I found the same Jazz as you. Which inspired me to shut off the computer and pout for a while,until I thought about checking USACG and Warmoth  |

But from what I can surmise I think the neck is actually a bit narrower than that of the American Standard 5 string. |
