About This Listing
This is a fantastic Fender Jazzmaster, made in the USA in 1963. It shows play wear but there is no serious or structural damage, just honest wear from use. The guitar is all original except the pots on the rhythm circuit, and it has been refretted. Neck date is February 1963, and it weighs 7 pounds and 13 ounces. This guitar has been pro-setup and is in excellent playing condition. It comes with the original case.
Fender announced the Jazzmaster at the 1958 NAMM show as a high-end jazz guitar with an array of innovative features and sleek sports-car inspired curves. Though the model never really caught on with jazz players, it was quickly embraced by surf rock players due to its unique floating tremolo system and mellower sounding pickups. Later, the Jazzmaster would find new life as an iconic instrument for a range of indie rock players.
