Description
Exact Year: 1961 Brand: Fender


Here is my 1961 Fender Jazzmaster up for auction.  This Fender Jazzmaster is from 1961 but is not 100% original. The neck is dead straight and plays great..doesn't have that beaten look but plays like an old school Jazzmaster. I have a couple of these and a recent daughter so time to say goodbye to this one. I did not play it much (bought it around 2004) and has always been housed well. I had a luthier look at it and take it apart for verification. This is what he found and relayed to me.I had another luthier look at it 4 years ago and his report will be included in the case...info below.Original parts:Pickups
