Up for sale, a 1961 Fender Jazzmaster in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. A well-kept Pre-CBS example of the Jazzmaster model, tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck and thick slab Brazilian rosewood fingerboard.
The original black bobbin pickup pair retains its stock windings, and both pickups have ample output. The bridge pickup has a great upper midrange aggression, sparkle, and cut. Engaging the pickups in parallel has a bell-like, chorusing quality with excellent articulation, and the neck pickup has a bold woody bark, clear and round. The Rhythm Circuit is smooth-sounding, and darker to a degree, yet still extremely detailed. This Jazzmaster weighs 8lbs 4oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action and accurate intonation.

The gloss three-tone Sunburst nitro lacquer finish is original, with very light black lacquer overspray on the bass-side body edge, well-blended with the original finish, with a small area of additional natural forearm wear into the Sunburst. There are a few small additional touched-up dings on the black body edges, small finish chips on the body edges and central to the upper bout on the back, and vertical lacquer checking. The original nitro lacquer finish has been brought down to a silky satin feel on the profile length.
