Mmmmm...

Felix made a nice guess yesterday - and was pretty close!! Unfortunately that's not *exactly* what it is... here's another clue:



Will be interesting to see if anyone figures it out... I'll spill the beans in a day or two.

EDIT: A couple of hints:

- There were 869 of them produced

- They are the only production item ever that Leo Fender signed in his own hand (ie. not using a 'stamp')

yeah I'm tarded, the 1985 should have been a give-away...but all my eyes could see was *BROADCASTER* :)

I really have no idea now, but for the more clever, I will suggest that the September 11th date is an important detail; specifically cause it's stamped in this picture, and Muff made a 9/11 category tag on this post ;)

Never knew that G&L made one. Very cool!

That's something like a Micro Tilt neck, but if that were from a Fender, it would have to be CBS era (or Fender of Japan) and therefore, not when Leo Fender was with the company.

It must then be a neck from a G&L guitar - likely an ASAT or ASAT Special.
