Nice axe! From what I see it looks correct..other than the saddles..but that could be just my lack of knowledge, I've never seen an American fender that has the common one groove saddle,the 3 Americans I've had all had the saddles with multiple groves so you can set your own string spacing....I've been into fender all 30 years I've been playing..but with fender ,just like gibson,once you think you've learned everything about them..someone shows you something you didn't see before..which is exactly why fender is still my go to,even with all the other options on the market

Fender Precision - looking for some input

Are the screw holes for the bridge ashtray there? Hard to see in the photo. I have a '79, bought new, and it came with both the ash tray and pickup cover. The pickup cover holes can be missing as many pickguards were replaced and aftermarket parts often didn't have the two extra holes.
I know this post is older, but I never answered the last question, there are no screw holes for the ash trays, so I'm thinking it may be really early 80's.
