I was testing a Parker bass once

I really didn't care for the tonal quality of it. for active it seemed
a bit light. Not much lower end. Besides. I thought it kinda looked
like a tick to me.

S Gretch Country Gentleman, eh? Boy do I have a story about the one
that got away.

The Strat is a '64 pre-CBS in Sunburst and has the single coil
pickups. It has a rosewood fretboard and according to the serial
number it might be a '63 - as in made in late '63 and sold/or stamped
in '64. It's just a plain old Strat - never been modified, tweaked,
torqued or otherwise diddled with.

The Gretsch is a '66. It has been retrofitted with a new fretboard so
it's not all original. It also has been played by Chet Atkins and has
his autograph - a real autograph. :)

Leave. No one here will miss you.
I noticed over on Chuck's board that one of the first posts you made
you made certain to include that your son is in the Marines! Still
using your son to boost your ego.....what a shame.

Fender serial numbers are not always very accurate for establishing
the date of manufacture. The reason is that they basically had a big
box of pre-made and stamped neckplates next to the assembly line, and
just grabbed them as needed. If one fell on the floor and was found a
year or 5 later, it was simply thrown back into the box. If you want
the real date, remove the neck, and it will be either stamped there in
ink, or on older guitars, written in pencil. The pickups on older
Fenders also often have penciled dates on them.
