For Sale: 2003 Fender American Vintage ’62 AVRI Jazzmaster – Ocean Turquoise | Nitro Finish | Mustang Bridge Upgrade | OHSC

Up for sale is a beautiful 2003 Fender American Vintage ’62 (AVRI) Jazzmaster in the highly sought-after Ocean Turquoise finish, complete with its original hard-shell case. This early-2000s AVRI is one of the most accurate U.S.-made vintage reissues Fender ever produced, featuring period-correct specs, nitrocellulose lacquer, and top-tier craftsmanship.

Condition

Very Good – 8.5/10

This Jazzmaster has been lightly played and very well cared for. Cosmetic wear is minimal and fully shown in the photos:

  • Light surface scratches
  • A few small dings

Originality:
Aside from an upgraded Mustang bridge, the guitar is fully original with no cracks, repairs, or structural issues. (Most players prefer the Mustang bridge as it’s far more stable and easier to set up than the traditional JM/Jaguar bridge.)

Playability:

  • Neck is straight and comfortable
  • Truss rod functions as it should
  • Original frets show only minimal wear
  • No buzzing or dead spots
  • Professionally set up here at Guitar Chimp

Case: Original Fender brown tolex hard-shell case — clean and fully functional.
