I am struggling to find the picture with this wear on the tremolo, can you help me out? I keep coming back to this and feel like I'm losing my mind trying to see it.

I haven’t seen similar wear on similarly aged Jazz’s before.spiffy chap wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 4:19 pmI am struggling to find the picture with this wear on the tremolo, can you help me out? I keep coming back to this and feel like I'm losing my mind trying to see it.

Thanks, couldn't tell if this was a reflection. The additional pictures clearly show the wear. Pretty weird, haven't seen this happen either.mr bungle wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 2:02 amI haven’t seen similar wear on similarly aged Jazz’s before.spiffy chap wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 4:19 pmI am struggling to find the picture with this wear on the tremolo, can you help me out?

I have seen that happen on that exact piece on JM trems. I don't think it affects anything, could rechrome the piece if you mind.

Cheers. It’s purely cosmetic. Personally, I would leave as is.armensguitars wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 7:33 amI have seen that happen on that exact piece on JM trems. I don't think it affects anything, could rechrome the piece if you mind.

That wear on the tailpiece I’ve seen loads of times. As I’ve mentioned previously it’s a dead ringer for my (April from memory) 1965. The finish, colour and aging is virtually identical. It’s 100% legit.

It looks almost identical to the L-series JM I was looking at in my local music shop. The consignor is asking $10+k CDN, and it isn't completely stock (Mastery bridge and Lollar pups).
Makes me wish I had saved my L-series JM, used it as a $1300 trade in many years ago...
