    Vintage Stingray "A" String Retainer?

    Can you not just file the nut down more for the A string? I've had many Stingrays in the past and never had the A string issue like I do with Fenders.

    Interesting! Here’s my Jan 59 p, with a body dated 10/58. And the second pic is my 61 p.

    NBD - EBMM Pino Fretless

    You don't need the lines. The side dots make it easy to play!

    Is Avantguard a SCAM?

    I think I paid like $350 USD all in. It is a nice pickguard and looks legit. But I wouldn't go through all that again.

    1959 Fender Precision Basses

    Here’s my 1/59 p. All the dates in the body, pots, and neck plate date the bass to 1958. But I guess because the neck is jan 59, then the bass is a 59.

    Is Avantguard a SCAM?

    I finally received my pg a few days ago that I ordered in April. Put it on my white CS p. Looks great! Much better than the original. Here’s a few pics of before and after.

    Multiple Fender Precisions in your collection?

    There’s some overlapping pictures here. But here’s my P collection. I don’t have an excuse for having so many. I just like P basses, and every time I’m playing something else, I’m wishing I was playing a P. 59 61 63 67 73 Pino White pino 82 Fullerton 57 68 telecaster 72 telecaster

    Is Avantguard a SCAM?

    I'm currently in the same boat. Ordered a pg April 15. Paid half down. Email said lead time was 3-5 months. I emailed him 3 times around August and September asking for a status update. He didn't reply until the third email, which my tone was slightly assertive (although still very cordial). He...

    Fender pre-CBS Club: pics mandatory!

    To the best of my ability, I'm getting 15mm thickness from the top of the fretboard to the back of the neck, looking from the side.

    Fender pre-CBS Club: pics mandatory!

    Received this absolute gem today. A true closet classic. 1961 all original P. neck, neck plate, pots, and body all date to 61. Solder joints never touched. I’ve noticed that the decal has the 4 pat pending numbers, which started in 62. So maybe this was one of the first ones to have the 62 logo...
