Fender Jazzmaster Pre-CBS Vintage 100% Origial Lake Placid Blue Feb 1965 Fine Condition
Fender Jazzmaster, Lake Placid Blue Custom Color with matched headstock, 100% original, with original case and correct serial number on the original Fender certificate.

Neck date is FEB 1965, but guitar has 1964 features, including clay dots in the nice dark Brazilian rosewood fretboard, etc. It was likely assembled and shipped early in 1965 using 1964 parts.

The guitar was originally sold in Honolulu, Hawaii as evidenced by the case candy, a wonderful part of its history. It has been on a Hawaiian vacation for the last few years and is ready to leave it's balmy shores to make beautiful music again elsewhere in the world.

This guitar is in fine condition, one of the cleanest custom color Jazzmasters I have seen in terms of finish. There mininimal wear to the body, with no evidence of touch up at all. It has been played but clearly well cared for.

Again, this guitar is 100% original and unmolested, specifically with original unaltered nut, and original frets with lots and lots of fret life. No refret will be needed for a very long time. The neck is straight and the action and intonation are fantastic.
The guitar has been set up professional and plays beautifully. The tremolo unit works well, including the slider.



All electronics on this guitar are intact - solder joints untouched and pickup out put is nice. The guitar sounds beautiful. The pot codes and dates are correct. All switches work perfectly. The pots do not crackle and sweep through its entire range.

Neck date is FEB65B which is Pre-CBS.

I will pack and ship extremely carefully and you can have a short inspection time. Please note that on these old Jazzmasters, the plastics including the scratch plate have shrunk over time, so it is dangerous to remove as it can crack. My expert tech did it extremely carefully to take photos of the guts and shielding. I am a stickler for very accurate description of vintage guitars in the Gruhn tradition, and only try to own extremely clean original guitars. This is an outstanding one which you will be proud to own. I have several custom color Jazzmaster so sadly need to return this pretty Hawaiian girl back to the universe.

super nice example.
but 11 grand? not saying it isn't worth it, just not in my budget.
