That I would remove the neck of my 99.9% mint Sabre which arrived today via UPS. I doubt that it will help because all I could decipher was DEC 09 stamped in blue ink in the body pocket. No dates on the pots either. The initials JG were penciled in numerous places on the neck and body pocket.
Anyway serial # is CO5232. It's a burst finish, black pick guard with one piece maple neck that feels similar to my 79 jazz minus the binding. The pups do not have exposed magnets, there are three knurled nobs, and one five position switch, a four bolt kneck, and not a mark on it! I love it!
Now me being a MM rookie if someone could just tell me what all the knobs and switch positions intended purpose are I'd be in heaven....... Thanks Rob
Another question I thought of. Why are the grooves in the bridge saddles offset from the holes that the strings pass through? I've seen many pictures of older MM basses that have the strings offset at the bridge. Is this a flaw?
