The Story

Jazzmaster 1961 Sunburst

If you want the tone of a vintage Jazzmaster, you just need to play a vintage Jazzmaster...it's that simple. Here's an original 1961 Fender Jazzmaster with a slab rosewood fretboard, clay dot inlays, all original electronics, and the original brown hardshell case. The guitar has a beautifully worn-in maple neck, areas of play wear around the body, and lots of life left in the originally frets which were likely dressed at one point. The guitar includes the original trem arm, though no bridge cover. A nice addition of vintage vibe is the badge of Torps Music Center in St. Paul, Minnesota on the side of the case.

Includes: Original Brown Hardshell Case, Original Tremolo Arm
