1963 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 quickly became a classic Rock’n’Roll and Surf guitar and has also been a firm favourite of 90s bands
like Nirvana, Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine.

This stunning pre-CBS Custom Color Jazzmaster is in fully original condition.
It’s finished in the iconic Olympic White colour contrasting strikingly
with its tortoiseshell pickguard.
Complete with original brown case and tremolo arm.
