Re: Earliest Blocks and Binding JM neck?
Hi Richie, welcome to the house of fun!
At least for Jazzmasters, Fender pumped out quite a lot of dots and binding 1966 necks with code 13, at least until March (I think until July or August).

Nothing's ever quite that simple with old Fenders, unfortunately.RichieDagger wrote: Binding for Jags and Jm's in '65, blocks and binding in '66.

Re: Earliest Blocks and Binding JM neck?
in the data I have collected (as well as in a newly aquired book of serial nos and guitars) the easrliest neck date I can find for a jag/jm with binding and blocks is June 1966.
relaxing alternative to doing actual work ...

Thanks Sook, looks like it's one for the books! I will take photos as soon as I get it.
It now seems I have one of the first and one of the last blocks and binding necks made pre 83.

That is awfully early for a B&B... cool!

Re: Earliest Blocks and Binding JM neck?
Scott,
yeah .. please put up some pics... I am very intrigued ...I mean if you had have said april or even may 66 for B&B, then yeah OK... but Feb 66 is way out of the ball park... maybe this was even an early prototype/pre-release (to use auto manufacturing terms) neck.
I will get my serial no. verse year graphs up here soon....

I have a 66 B+B Jazzmaster neck with 13FEB66B. I guess the early strat codes are the first ones?

Re: Earliest Blocks and Binding JM neck?
Yep. I also had a 13FEB66 D&B neck with a Strat head shape but a Jazzmaster logo.
