The Story

1973 Jazzmaster Sunburst

Here's a very nice example of an early '70s Jazzmaster with a bright sunburst finish and the classic looks of a bound and blocked fretboard. This '73 Jazzmaster is in overall very good condition for its age with lacquer cracks across the body and a bit of black touch-up paint on the side of the body where a dent occurred. This one has been refretted over time with a more modern sized fret that's super easy to play and bend on, and has been modified with the Mastery bridge and vibrato tailpiece - everyone's favorite piece of offset guitar hardware. The original hardware is included in the case should you want to return it to stock.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Tremolo Arm, Original Bridge
