About This Listing

Here is a really nice 1963 Fender Jazzmaster that plays and sounds awesome. This is the perfect vintage guitar for the player. The guitar is completely original with the exception of a back and partial side refinish using black lacquer. The bridge was also switched to a much more stable all brass tune-o-matic style for better intonation and helps keep the guitar in tune perfectly while engaging the tremolo. The original bridge will also be included with the guitar for collectible value. Comes with the very rare original black leather soft shell case which is in excellent condition as well.

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.

Wood Composition: Alder body, Maple neck with veneer Brazillian Rosewood fingerboard

Design Elements: Bolt-on neck, clay dot inlays, 2 single-coil soapbox pickups, 3-way pickup selector, 25 1/2-inch scale length, treble and bass roll knobs, floating tremolo system, lead/rhythm circuit switch
