Seller's description

Ok fellow Fender thumpers… man oh man do I have one for you! Both from a players and collectors prospective and do we have some JUICE to go over or what! This is a 1966 Jazz that has completely been trapped in the middle of the pre-CBS/CBS buyout… like the best of both F’n worlds No Doubt. Let’s dig in shall we? The one thing about a CBS Precision or Jazz (and yes the cats and kittens with more strings, Strats, Teles..etc.) is that fiery orange red or Cheeto Burst! Some folks call it a ”Target Burst” or “Clown Burst” but in 64 actually the pre CBS era- is when this process started.. in mid-1964, Fender modified the base coat process by placing a yellow layer on top of a base sealer coat and adding a lil white to that yellow layer…. SO, The white undercoat made the finish more opaque and less see through than earlier versions. It created an effect, where colors were more brightly colored but did not blend as smoothly as earlier iterations. Now that brief history lesson is over, here are a few Fender Nerd aspects that really sit this smack dab in Pre-CBS and CBS eras and man.. it’s SWEET! Ok check it… 1st look and the pic of the face of the headstock, and the neck itself. Very deep red’ish brown grain.. Brazilian for sure. The dots with the binding are as cool as it gets in my opinion but to REALLY make these even cooler, they used to be CLAY DOTS! ok, the reason I bring this up is, Fender nerds and aficionados know about the factory and some of the early nuances. So we also know that is not out of the question for the resourceful folks to use or in this case “re-use” surplus. So this neck was obviously cut pre-65 as it has the remainder of the Clay dots that were drilled out.. so these pearl dots could be installed, and jive with the 1966 stamp, neck plate, tuners, and such… but this neck and body were obviously pre-CBS items that were still in the factory. since I did mention it, we can go to the body real quick. The dowels or tooling marks are still in the early to
