1959 Fender Jazzmaster Vintage Sunburst #17608

If you're looking for the real deal, this is it. This is an unbelievable vintage Jazzmaster made in early 1959, just about one year after Fender launched them for the very first time. It even has the original gold anodized pickguard. Everything on this one is original except the nut and the pots, and the original pickups sound incredible. The leads on the neck pickup were spliced and the pots were changed in 1978, but the original capacitor is still in use. Complete with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, an era-correct tweed hard shell case, and awesome playwear and aging that even the best relic job couldn't match, this guitar is a true treasure of electric guitar history. This guitar is in Good Vintage condition with significant finish wear, fading, and areas of loss; in other words, it looks just how a sweet vintage Jazzmaster should. Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. __________________________________________________________________ SPECIFICATIONS: Single-Line Kluson Deluxe Tuners Non-Original 1.65” Bone Nut Maple Neck with 25.5” Scale Length Neck Thickness .80" at First Fret and .99" at Twelfth Fret Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard with Dot Inlays and 7.25" Radius 21 Medium-Tall Frets in Excellent Condition (Refret) Original Pickups with Original Pots and Replaced Caps Original 6-Saddle Bridge and Vibrato Tailpiece Alder Body in 3-Tone Sunburst Finish Weight 7 lbs. 12 oz.

Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing. We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
