Up for sale, a 2017 Fender Traditional ‘60s Jazzmaster in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with hangtags. This Jazzmaster is a model only intended for sale to a Japanese domestic audience and select international markets, sourced directly from Tokyo, faithfully capturing the look and feel of a genuine vintage example. A very early example of the Traditional series platform, this Jazzmaster features an alder body and a vintage-spec 7 1/4" fretboard radius (in contrast to later models with basswood bodies and a modern radius).

The Traditional ‘60s Jazzmaster has plenty of sparkle and percussive cut on tap, with a range of powerful and defined tones from the two single coil pickups. Engaging the Rhythm Circuit on the guitar's lower body horn yields warmer, wooly sounds. Weighing 7lbs 11oz, this guitar has been setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar where we specialize in Fender Offset instruments, dialed in with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
