Up for sale, a 1997 Fender Jazzmaster ‘62 vintage reissue model JM66-80 in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This early "Crafted in Japan" Jazzmaster is a discontinued model, designed for sale within Japan and uncommon outside its country of origin.

Weighing 8lbs, tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. This guitar has an authoritative, clear sound when strummed acoustically, qualities that are translated faithfully through the original alnico magnet single coil pair. These pickups offer plenty of definition and sparkling cut, with warmer, wooly sounds via the Rhythm Circuit on the guitar's lower body horn. This Jazzmaster JM66-80 benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, where we specialize in Fender Offset instruments, with 11-49 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
