Ahhhh, you beat me to it.... I only suspect 1 thing. Look closely at the serial number font. Suspicious. Also is the Jazz Bass correct? I thought the font was straight line. I could be wrong but the serial still looks strange to the eye. |

Not sure about the serial (pretty sure it's fine though), but the Jazz Bass script is correct. |

I wouldn't let that serial number freak anyone out... there were a few different looking versions from the 70's and the weird spacing between the first letter/number and the number sequence is normal. A Google image search will verify that. Here's another jazz with a similar serial number... http://www.vintageandrare.com/product/F ... ite--41121 |

It's not a fake decal. I've owned several late 70's Precision and Jazz basses that had the same decal layout. Fender did that on a few to separate the serial number from the year abbreviation. Ex. S7 12345 or S8 12345 etc) The "S" stands for 70 and the following number is the year 7 being a 1977 and 8 being a 1978. Fender did some different things in the 70's. Don't freak out over it. |

And if you notice, on the headstock of paulos 77 Jazz neck, it doesn't read "made in USA" Is it a real 1977 Jazz neck? You bet it is. I used to own it and believe me, it's real. |

I never said it was not real, I said it was suspect fake. I have never seen a bold serial number Fender decal before from the 70's. the S7 were bold but the following numbers were not (sharp). Addison's link shows the gap before serial. thats not what I meant. Maybe its just the shitty listed photo making the font incorrect. If this is real, cool.. and I know all about the decals missing parts from the early days. I have a 73 Fender P logo with no patent pending number below the Fender decal. Strange but this a real neck unmodified. They did strange things back then. It was just cut off. |

That's interesting. As long as they are real it's all good!
