MF/GC has this Fender American Vintage ii 1966 Jazz bass for sale as a condition 3 scratch and dent. Normal price is 2299 and this is 1471.
The color looks wrong but the color is hard to photograph so... there's that. BUT the headstock should match the body.
Tho 3TSB has this headstock. Is there a 3TSB floating around with a green headstock?
Just looks weird to me, whadda y'all think?

The color looks right on my screen, but if they're supposed to all have matching headstocks (except the sunburst ones), I'd expect there's been some neck switching shennanigans. I'd want the matching color headstock, myself. That's part of the whole '66 Custom Color Jazz gestalt thing for me. The wrong pickguard wouldn't bother me as it's easily changed out for a era-correct one for cheap money. I'd be wondering if a clean used one might be had for same-ish money?

Yeah, I have one in this color and the headstock should match.
Also, what color should the pickguard be? White? I was wondering about that myself
