1964 Fender Jazzmaster

 
1964 Fender Jazzmaster CAR
 
 

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.

This beautiful pre-CBS Jazzmaster is stunning original condition.
The real showstopper is the combination of the Candy Apple Red custom colour
and the tortoiseshell pickguard which is a truly unique feature.
Complete with original brown case, leather strap and hang tag.
