hey guys I am looking to do a local trade on a USA 62 ri jazz,
(figured you guys would be faster and more honest/accurate than the owner)

few questions ,

does anybody have any pics of one to compare ?
any issues anybody knows of with this year and model?
Are they string thru or top load?

any help would be great, its about an hour and a half away so I don't want to drive it if I don't have to.

thanks
jim

62 RI are top-load, as vintage Fender.

Looking at the hardware it looks like it's the MIA reissue.

Seems like a good price to me, I've played one from late nineties and was pretty good. A little bit on the heavy side though.
