- fender original 60s precision
I have a MIM 50s and the pups are great, very 50s tone and very different than my 62. Im pretty certain the MIM classic 50s gets pure vintage 57s in them. Has nothing close to to MIM standard about it. Noticeably different from the original series however.
It has the G&G plate. I was told that it is made after a Strat case or one of their guitar cases. It has the Fender plate under the carry handle.
After looking at yours, I think I will at least have the bridge ashtray installed. Looks good.
As a side note, I have returned to the "P" after the Jazz for many years. Frankly, I cannot carry a 70 pound Mesa speaker cab up and down stairs anymore. I had to stop playing for a couple of years because of waking up in the morning with totally numb arms and extreme pain. There was a time when I would have told you "No way in Hell I would buy a solid state amp". Then I was introduced to Bergantino Neo cabs and the Forte amp. 6 lbs in a shoulder bag! My significant other and I attended my big band gig and she commented on how nice it was helping me set up. Way different from the old days of more then a hundred pounds of gear. We were in and out in minutes from the 4th of July gig. She told me great tone, but I could increase volume another notch. It's a brand new amp, and next gig , I will go up a notch on the big knob. Class D for us folk pushing 60. We maybe getting older but we can rock! Lol
