Up for sale, a 2005 Fender Jazzmaster ‘66 vintage reissue model JM66B in like-new condition and in perfect working order, complete with hangtags and an upgraded G&G blonde tolex hardshell case. An uncommon, discontinued Jazzmaster featuring neck binding and pearl block inlay, this "Crafted in Japan" model was only intended for the Japanese domestic market and is rarely seen outside its country of origin.
Lightweight at 7lbs 7oz, tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. There's plenty of sparkling cut on tap, with a range of defined and powerful tones from the two alnico magnet single coils pickups. And warmer, wooly sounds can be accessed via the Rhythm Circuit on the guitar's lower body horn. This Jazzmaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
