Help Identify this Fender Jazz body?

MIJ or CIJ?

The barcode in the pickup rout is interesting....

 

MN, MZ are Mexico.
Anyway, that's some meaningless sticker.

 

Did you ask the previous owner?

 

Most do mine does it was the hole they put the wooden dowel in to cut the body on the cnc machine

 

The 60s Reissues don't have the channeling, so that's why the older ones are great to use if you want a 60s style body and not spend a ton of money. If you want to strip it and shoot it in Nitro, it a TON of work, so you'd be better off in the long run getting an Allparts, Warmoth etc, and doing it in Nitro, but if you like the color, they are great. Many of the older ones were actually made in the US and then shipped to Mex to get finished. Fender now has ruined these and the Road Worns by putting that large quarter sized hole under the pick guard for their CNC machines, so you can't play them with no pick guard. If you like pick guards, then they are cool, but this is a Mex 60s Reissue and a nice body to do a build around.

 

It's Alder and it an older Mex 60s Reissue. If you don't want it, I'd take it off of your hands. I hate the new ones with the quater sized hole for their CNC machines. I think I paid about $100.00 for the last one I bought.

 

The 60's reissue does not. My MIM 60's Jazz body looks exactly like my previous USA 62 reissue Jazz bodies.
