Sweet! Learn something new every day.

Forgive my complete and total ignorance, please: I am completely new to the term "A" for a 1.5 nut width... did fender ship precisions out with 1.5" in the 70's? or is it shaved down? i might consider investing in a vintage p if it had a stock 1.5" nut width

It's addictive. I've owned no less than 10 Japan-made Fenders. I have... 5 now?

Cool! I'm looking at the Musician's Friend listing. They list a couple of the specs incorrectly. It does not have an "Alder Top" as Musicians Friend lists. It has solid maple wings. They also list it having a bridge pickup which, as you already know, it does not. If the tonepump seems super...

Thank you! Believe it or not the "does anyone have a phone charger" comes up an awful lot and it wouldn't be the first time I'd used my pedalboard to do it... might as well eliminate the whole flipping it upside down element!

Nice. Love my MIJ International Color Maui Blue.
