Hi all! I can't quite believe my luck with this one.
I've picked a Jazz, purchased new in Berlin in 1973. I know this because it came with all the paperwork, including the original receipt. It ended up in the hands of a collector, and seems to have been barely touched - or even out of the case - since. It's a stunner, with a flamey headstock and dark rosewood board, and it sounds as good as it looks. The only mark of any note is a bit of a rash from when I removed the bridge cover.
Straight on with the La Bella flats - it'll be my #1 for Eagles trib gigs.
