I bought this Jazzmaster in 1992 right after moving to California. A real player, a frankenstein with a Fernandes "lawsuit" strat neck and a Gibson bridge. It came from Subway Guitars in Berkeley, known for putting together weird guitars with odd parts, so I never knew what else was in there. The guy I bought it from sold it to me for $125. It played and sounded great, and I used it in a few bands. More recently, I started wondering about how old it was, so I starting doing some research and I think the body is pre-CBS. I don't know what parts are original, but the tailpiece says Pat. Pending and the finish has a lot of 'crazing'. Anyone out there care to take a look and help me figure out what year it is, and what's been done to it? I have more pics to post, and I'm going to take it apart and look for markings on the pickup and neck pocket. I think it would be fun to restore it to factory specs.
