Up for sale, a 2021 Fender Traditional 60s Jazzmaster electric guitar in showroom clean condition and perfect working order. This FSR (Factory Special Run) model features a Black gloss finish and matching peghead. Like-new and complete with the original Fender-branded gigbag and hangtags, this model is not sold within the USA and is rarely seen outside Japan.
A reinvention of Fender Japan's Jazzmaster platform, the new Traditional 60s model features Fender USA V-Mod black bobbin pickups, as well as USA-made CTS pots, Switchcraft switches, and USA Fender plastic parts. A textbook example of everything we love about the Jazzmaster, the instrument has plenty of twang and sparkle on tap, with a range of powerful and defined tones from the two single coil pickups, and warm, wooly sounds when switched to the Rhythm Circuit on the guitar's lower body horn. Featherweight for a Jazzmaster at 7lbs 5oz, the guitar balances well on a strap and has been setup to perfection here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar where we specialize in Fender Offset instruments, featuring 11-48 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.
The maple neck has a fuller profile carve than earlier Fender Japan Jazzmasters, with generous shoulder and lightly rolled fretboard edges, offering a modestly chunky C shape at the nut and just a hair more heft in the higher registers, measuring .865" deep at the 1st fret and .920" at the 12th. The rosewood fretboard is a dark, tight-grained cut, with flawless slender fretwire and a modern-spec 9 1/2" fretboard radius. The scale length is a full 25 1/2", and the carved bone nut measures 1 5/8" in width. The headstock sports a Pre-CBS style "Spaghetti" Jazzmaster logo, with Kluson-style tuning machines which turn smoothly and hold pitch well.
All of the electronics function flawlessly, the chrome hardware shines like new, and the plastic parts are clean as can be, with the original clear factory plastic and Traditional 60s sticker intact on the pickguard. The vibrato unit works smoothly and engages easily for quick warbles and surfy dives, working in concert with the vintage-style bridge. The gloss Black finish is in mint condition, with no wear on the instrument to report.
This Traditional '60s Jazzmaster is complete with the original hangtags and Fender-branded gigbag.
