Just wondering if anyone thinks this could be a fake. Serial number is in question. Thoughts?

Looks like a Persuader with an Vector body, which would get an "F" serial number code at the time. The serial number would not normally be engraved like that, but we occasionally did things like that for our Japanese importer.

Hi Joseph, and welcome. Here's an older thread we had running on that bass, with some additional commentary. (in case you were interested in it) ;)
