Description
Not only a fabled Pre-CBS Fender, but the first Fender that a young Jimmy James, soon to become Jimi Hendrix, is pictured with. A shorter scale guitar marketed for the "student", not a bad place to start if you're on the way to rock legend status. And one that, a decade later, became the favourite of the burgeoning US punk scene - Patti Smith, David Byrne, Television - and then again to later generations, including John Frusciante and Damon Albarn. This one may be the "student" model, but all Fenders in that pre-CBS era were built using the same materials and to the same high quality standards as their more famous cousins. The maple neck with pencilled production date, the rosewood fingerboard and clay position markers, the alder body and 250K pots - the same wood and component choices that you'd find on same-era Stratocasters. A fantastic piece of Fender history. And a great player. For a Fender of its age, not a hint of earthing buzz, great low set-up, and great tones across the three pick-up settings. Has the normal wear and tear you'd expect from a guitar this old - but actually in remarkably good condition for that age. Happy to include a support pack at no extra cost, with: - Hercules Mini Stand - Strap - Clip-on Tuner - Cleaning Cloth - Complimentary Plectrums. Happy to meet personally in London to hand over. And if this isn't the one for you, check out my other guitar, amp and pedal listings!

Sam F borrowed 1972 Fender Precision Bass Guitar, Classic Sunburst
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Iain was incredibly helpful, polite and enthusiastic, and even provided an extra bag of useful tools, including a clip-on tuner. The 1972 Fender Precision Bass and amp were in pristine condition, sounded incredible and genuinely elevated our rehearsal session. Excellent service all round – I’ll absolutely be hiring from Iain again.
