vintage jazzmaster body pencil-date pics

Post by painted wood » Sat Apr 05, 2008 6:06 am

Can I see some pics of your vintage Jazzmaster '58-'63 body pencil dates?  I need to replicate one for an unmarked vintage body I have.

I believe the dates were in the bridge pickup route during this era.  This is one I have, but I'd like to see others to be able to judge how large and thick the date was typically written.  I know there is some variation. thanks!
