love the antiqua (i think thats what it is called) finish

[jbossolo]

Yep, that's it. Legend has it that Fender was not too experienced with sunburst finishes and a couple of them got burned edges. In an attempt to fix it they did a gradual fade from the edge inward, and the result was the Antigua finish. At least that's how the story goes. I love mine.

Really? That's interesting. I thought it was a limited edition type deal. That only makes me want one more

Hi All,

I'm in; here's my 1975 Precision.

All original: walnut (colour, not wood), maple Jazz-style (A-width) neck.

Amazing condition. Bought it from the original owner. I drove from Edmonton, Alberta to central South Dakota to pick her up: one day down, the next day back. In December. During a blizzard. It was worth it.

More pics in a moment...

Two more, this time of the back. Nary a buckle mark to be found...

Hey Beans,

Interesting seeing the walnut/rosewood combo - what year? Neck profile?

Nice collection, btw...
