ihave one too. its an 70s model in ash with blackpickguard
at the moment i´m trying to find a picture in the net to show another friend! i´ve been trying to get it listet on the musicman homepage for thievery protection, but thats not possible there. maybe if some more guys write them, so they may do so! i´ve mine since mid 90s and i payd 1140DM(germanmarks)and it has an label from an groningen/holland guitarshop, for it! in the earlier jears i saw some on a musician outdoormarket for between 600 and 1100€ but i actually dont know at wich rate they where selled, and also its a few years ago!
iv, seen totally5 or 6 my counted within.
actually its the last jazzmasterstyle guitar build by leo himself as the owner of a guitar producingfactory in his lifetime. as i know there is no rebuilded, or newer rebuilded jazzmastertype before his death!
it gets a lot worth! its beautifuller than any later builded MM, and is an real fender!
i have an picture showing leo working on my guitar! and i´m shure that its exactly mine!!
: I have a MM Stringray II in superb condition (not quite mint - small crack - 2/3mm - on pickguard from one screwhole) which has been safely stored away unplayed for 5 years. Active electrics fine! No case though (tried to get one but it's too long for standard cases). No idea what it's worth - I paid £550 in 1995. As everyone knows, it's a dream to play but heavy by today's standards.
