This is an original, made in Japan, J Mascis artist series Fender Jazzmaster.  Looks and plays great but has old strings on it.  Comes with original deluxe Fender case by G&G.I bought this new and it has seen only gentle studio use.  There is a small ding on the top edge of the front of the guitar, and some "buckle rash" scratches on the back.  Unfortunately the paint/clear coat on this finish makes the scratches really stand out in white.  Please see the pictures - there's a few angles of both of these areas.  There is also a scuff on the top of the case.Let me know if I can answer any questions or provide any other photos.  Sounds great, plays great, and shipping's on me.  Here's more info if you need it:  A unique and modern take on the classic Jazzmaster guitar from one of its most well known-players. An update of a timeless classic, this Jazzmaster electric guitar features purple sparkle paint with a matching headcap, an "o-matic"-style bridge, anodized pickguard, reinforced tremolo arm housing for improved fit, jumbo frets and a satin finished neck. The Adjusto-Matic bridge provides better intonation, resonance, and playability. Jumbo frets facilitate easier note bending.From Dinosaur Jr to the Fog, J Mascis and his energetic lead guitar style took the Fender Jazzmaster to a new place and introduced the guitar to a new generation. In addition to its stunning looks, this guitar from the Artist Series has many player-centric modifications as requested by J Mascis himself.FEATURESSeries: ArtistBody: BasswoodNeck: 1-piece C-shaped maple (thin satin polyurethane finish)Fingerboard: Rosewood, 7.25" radius (184 mm)Frets: 21 jumboScale Length: 25.5" (648 mm)Width at Nut: 1.650" (42 mm)Hardware: ChromeMachine Heads: Fender vintage styleBridge: Adjusto-MaticPickguard: Gold anodizedPickups: Vintage reissue pickupsPickup Switching: 3-position togglePosition 1: bridge pickupPosition 2: bridge and neck pickupsPosition 3: neck pickup2-position slide: lead tone circuit (up) rhythm tone circuit (down)Controls: "Lead" circuit: volume, tone; "Rhythm" circuit: volume, tone
