About This Listing

All original, with the exception of a refret conducted about a decade ago. The saddles were replaced with Mustang saddles at some point in the past but the original Jazzmaster saddles are intact in the case. This guitar has insane mojo, and I really hate to part with it.

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.
