We don't happen to have a serial for that one, do we?
The JB should be a 1982, it's the only year that combines the spaghetti logo and Fender-format serials. The Silver Star has a small-cap SS60 logo decal, which is 1982-only as well. And that's also the year with both the only partially documented "Limited Products" range and the "Custom order system" sections in the catalog. Could well be connected.
It is looking like a range of these were built in 1982 +/-?
Another later script logo guitar for comparison.
I know that painted neck guitars show up in the mid 80s as Limited or Super editions, etc. but I wanted to show that the standard Fender clone models were also occasionally made with matching painted necks after 1982.
Script logo Breezy TE50 BBR.
Note: Also have seen basses (Hard Puncher & Jazz Soond) with script logo and matching painted necks (black and Olympic white).
For some reason I seem to remember seeing an all Metallic Red bass at some point? Also an all Lake Placid Blue Limited SS70. I might be imagining it since I can't find them.
Guessing these painted necks tend to be less expensive models? Perhaps painted to cover necks that have blemishes? Also Polyurethane finish was used on the less expensive models. Handy as well for durability re neck wear on painted wood?
