Wow, nice one.
How is the tone?
How is the tone?
i think i have a red 63 jazzmaster with a silver undercoat, anyone seen that? my pal bought it new,i have the rcpt etc. i have seen desert sand and i heard they also used gold sometimes.Good timing CD....I have a refin to work through on a clean '63 (bar of course, the current not so nice refin). The level of "relic" on this is a good indicator. Have those little dings been touched up at all? The white undercoat on these sold colour Fenders can be a little bright when a chip happens. Something to consider emulating when I get to that point.
never checked but i heard the pearl dots were larger than the clay onesSo "L" plate like my late '64 sunburst. For years I thought mine had clay dots..they look deceiving like the dots on yours..they just don't have any pearl swirls.
a couple small touchups dont bother me at all, its part of the guitars journey, i had a red 65 many moons ago it had these style frets, i always thought it was a refret, maybe not? it had real hot pickups too, it was a winner, i was playing a les paul at the time and my bandmates forced me to trade the strat towards a new synth keyboard so we could play the helicopter sounds in flock of seagull songs. i just cant put that to rest.Good eye. There are a couple of small touch ups down by the input jack. The undercoat does present quite a contrast on Fiesta Red.
