I was interested in platinum plating and purchased this at a musical instrument reuse shop. It fit perfectly on my 82z, and I played it for about an hour. Compared to the G1 neck that came with the instrument, the bore is slightly narrower. - Playability: Perhaps due to the platinum plating, there's a slight increase in resistance. - Tone: A focused and core-rich sound. The density of the sound increases. I also felt that the sound projected further. This might be recommended for those who play in wind bands or big bands and want their sound to carry further. I'm selling it because it wasn't to my taste. The F1 neck itself is rare, and the platinum plating is a luxurious finish, but since it's a used item, I'm offering it at a reasonable price! Please note that I cannot guarantee that it will fit your instrument, so please consider this with the assumption that you may need to adjust the fit. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments!
