I also have a nice collection of vintage Fenders.  Luckily, I got them all before the prices shot through the roof.  I don't like to think of them in terms of their value as much as just enjoying them in my collection.  Most of them play well and sound great, but I really enjoy admiring them and showing them off.
 
Here's my '68 Jazz - all original near perfect condition;
 

 
 
Real sweet!

I only have one Fender but I've had her almost as long as I've been playing. She was originally a tobacco sunburst US '79 precision but she's had one or two subtle modifications..

So the question I have is whether it's a ricky pickup in the bridge position, or a jazz pickup under that chrome guard...

It's all rick, right down to the mono and stereo 'rickosound' jacks on the edge of the body. Bridge is a schaller, very similar to that used on Fodera. When I got the bass, the rick conversion had been done but the paintwork was appalling - chipped to hell (and only a year old!!) - so I stripped it with a cabinet scraper, dye'd it a light oak and gave it a couple of coats of varnish before replacing the bridge. Every now and again I contemplate getting the tobacco burst redone professionally but Mrs J seems to think it has sentimental value as it stands. My eldest daughter looks after her now so I guess it's her decision.
