Recently I could purchase a 1980 Precision Special. I came with a Fender case but I am not sure it is an original.

Can someone tell me if the pickup is from that year?

Thanks!

from what i can tell in the pics, the pickup looks period correct.
i couldnt see any solder on the pot, but if you get a good shot of the solder joint you should be able to tell whether or not it has been replaced. at least i can usually tell a factory solder job from a pup replacement job.

i dont know what the neck pocket stamp means unfortunately.

There are no solder joints on the pot's because they are attached to the PCB and also the pickups are connected to the PCB and the switch. I replaced the switch my self.

The serial number on the sticker (in the neck pocket) is the same as the number on the headstock.
