Help Identifying a Fender

[russnettle]

Hi, I am finally having to sell my old Fender as I am getting married this year and just don't give it the time it deserves.

I bought it about 10 years ago in a local music store for about £300 and have gigged recorded and toured with it, however now I have come to find out more about it I am struggling to find details. Any help would be appreciated

I thought it was a Music master that had been customised (it has a humbucker (seymour duncan) added to the bridge (looking at the routing this is def not a fender job)

The Headstock only displays 'fender ' and the serial (S704417)

I had the neck off to check for any identifying marks, (didnt notice anything on the heel) the rear neck stamp says ''J Serna' with a number 3274

The scratchplate is also not that common with the other music masters I have seen



have added some pics

It is a modded Musicmaster. The serial number puts it at 1977-1978. Except for the added humbucker and removal of the Musicmaster decal from the headstock,everything else is correct. The large 1970s era headstock,the "F" neckplate and the scratchplate style are all correct to the date.Here's a 1977 example.

Of course, the neck plate screws are not original, either.
