Really different Fender P vintage. Whats your opinion.

Hello,

Check this out. I messaged the guy and the serial reads a 76 not a 75. Either way, check out the paint jub? Another thing that is weird is that i dont see holes for the thumb rest. Did factory do this on purpose? I am a bit skeptical.

The pickguard's not original. I don't think the paint is, either.

Agree I don't think the paint or the pickguard is original, and that would make me question the rest of the bass too. I would want to see pictures with the PG and neck off so I could verify the dates on everything. If you look at the picture of the tuners and bridge you can see that they are old and aged. IMO the paint, PG, and PU covers look too good compared to the hardware.
