About This Listing

1 am helping a friend sell some guitars and this one is the jewel of his collection.

A real deal.. 1958... First year... Sunburst, Rosewood, Gold Anodised Guard Jazzmaster...
This is a body only refinish guitar and it was done beautifully in nitro.

At the same time it was given a much needed re-fret which has also been done beautifully...

Everything else on this guitar is original..

The case is its original case which a previous owner thought would look better if it was "brown nuggeted" with boot polish...

The case is in amazing condition other than that...

Some time and patience may be able to get the brown off it although it is just great to have the case with it..

He is open to offers and if you are serious about this guitar please send me a message and hopefully it can go to someone who will appreciate just how fantastic it truly is…

No trade offers please unless its a Porsche GT hahaha...

Thanks for looking and if you are seriously keen shoot me a message...

Product Overview
Fender announced the Jazzmaster at the 1958 NAMM show as a high-end jazz guitar with an array of innovative features and sleek sports-car inspired curves. Though the model never really caught on with jazz players, it was quickly embraced by surf rock players due to its unique floating tremolo system and mellower sounding pickups. Later, the Jazzmaster would find new life as an iconic instrument for a range of indie rock players.
