1962 Fender Jazzmaster

Launched in mid 1958 as the top of the range Fender guitar, the Jazzmaster featured
Fender’s first neck with a rosewood fretboard.
Even though it somewhat missed its original target,
it is an incredible Rock’n’Roll and Surf guitar and has also been a firm favourite of 90s bands
like Nirvana, Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine.

A beautiful fully original pre-CBS specimen, this slab board Jazzmaster is in
lovely original condition with some signs of play wear and “case rub“.
Complete with original brown case, leather strap, strings and lead.
