Hello! I recently bought an 1988 '57 AVRI that is not what the seller claimed. The neck is correct as well as the neck plate serial number. The body may be correct, it is a 2 tone sunburst and appears correct in every way except there is no date stamp. It does have the name O. Pallares stamped in the neck pocket. It also has more pickguard holes than it should but someone may have changed the guard. Does anyone know how to determine the year of this body? Thanks in advance!

Is the body routed for a S/S/S pickup configuration?

- Create a free account within an image host (Flickr, ImageShack, Photobucket) and upload your photos there.

- Copy and paste the IMG code with the URL containing the uploaded media.

Alternatively you can copy the image URL, drag your mouse over it and press the "Img" button once. The function automatically adds the IMG tags between the URL.

PS. The backslash closes the tags.

Oscar Pallares works in the Fender custom shop. Perhaps you should post this in the "Ask Mike" section.

The link below is from ask Mike here on the Fender site in regards to O. Pallares.
