VIDEO! Hohner Jazzmaster-style Professional JT 60 - pro setup, player ready

General introduction and background:

Beautiful and rare Hohner JT 60 offset, Jazzmaster-style guitar with ST-like pickup configuration and tremolo. The Hohner Professional series was produced in the late 1980s and early 1990s by Cort (and other manufacturers) for the Hohner brand, then owned by Gewa (Germany). This specimen has a new pickguard and was made in 1992.

As always, the instrument has been serviced completely and is ready to be played immediately. But please read the description carefully.

-Originality: all original except for the pickguard and poti configuration, as the original was broken beyond repair; the trem arm is also a replacement.

Sound and Playability:

-Playability and string action: the guitar plays very well with a very low string action of just about 1,2 mm on the 12th fret. It is set up to shredding comfortable standards. The trem is set to “floating” and allows a very nice and stable vibrato.

-Sound: Please check out the video for a sound demo. It is basically a well sounding Strat in the shape of a Jazzmaster.
