Up for sale, a 2000 Fender Jazzmaster ‘62 vintage reissue model JM66-80 in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Crafted in Japan” Jazzmaster was designed exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, long ago discontinued and uncommon outside its country of origin.

Weighing 7lbs 12oz, tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. The instrument has plenty of sparkle and cut on tap, with a range of defined and powerful tones from the two single coil pickups, and warm, wooly sounds when switched to 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 Offset instruments, with 11-49 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
