So do you figure it has to be either a Jazz or a '59? I'm wondering whether there's a chance it's an APH-1n, like the one pictured below. The APH-1n has a long sticker, which seems to match the residue and outline of the missing sticker on my mystery pickup.

Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted... over ten years. I acquired this pickup the other day on Yahoo Auctions Japan. The seller didn't know what model it was, and I bid on it with a hunch it was a Jazz. It arrived yesterday, and the resistance checks out at 7.5kΩ. I've installed it...

Picked this up on Yahoo Japan auctions over the weekend during their most recent "anybody can bid over $50" promotion. The headstock reads Meriken by Samick. From what I can tell, the Meriken line is all 50s and 60s styles. I've seen White Falcon and Rick 325 copies as well. This one was...

Title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for a tortoiseshell pickguard for my Squier Jagmaster. Would like to make an even exchange for my white/parchment pickguard. I realize it's a longshot, but what the hay. :fingersx:

Can anyone confirm whether this is a real Rickenbacker? http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/170029783

Re: How to get acoustic sounds from my ES335 Sorry to dredge up an old thread on my first post, but the topic was exactly what I wanted to ask about, so here goes. I recently picked up a '76 Westminster (Matsumoku/Japan) ES-335, but unlike most 335s, it's completely hollow -- like a Casino...
