Peroid correct construction give it the vintage vibe costing much more! This is a very early example of the series, and the company! Parts made in Japan, and assembled in NYC. LIGHT WEIGHT ALDER BODY- MAPLE NECK- ALL THE INGREIDENTS FOR THE PERFECT TELE TONE!! You would swear your playing the real deal! The best kept secret in the vintage market.the ESP 400 series. I found a 400 series telecaster on google images with the same neck plate, so the verdict is jap parts assembled in NYC apparently very early run and mine is 224 earlier than this one. ![]() ![]() At the time, the factory where this was being made was making Fender basses as well as ESP and Tokai basses and so that headstock could have easily made its way onto a Fender bass They are copies of the Fender 62 Jazz bass and very very good indeed. However, I would say 99.9% that the store in New York had that etched on themselves. My neck plate is exactly the same minus the New York etching. Do you have a serial number on the back of the headstock? I have one there and it also says Made In Japan. The US had a different headstock which has a little lip on the bottom. The Fender shaped headstock was only for the European and very possibly Asian market. What I would say from the knowledge I have of this bass is that it is made in Japan and from the mid to late 80's. OK, that is exactly the same as mine apart from I don't have the matching headstock colour which was an option on them and I changed the pickups to Barts. ![]()
