1965 Fender Jazzmaster in its original Sunburst finish just in on consignment!

This is a wonderful playing and sounding example of an early CBS-Era offset electric, with just the right amount of natural play wear and patina we love to see coupled with nearly 100% originality. It's also one of the lightest vintage Jazzmasters to come through our shop, weighing in at 7.5lbs on the nose.

What we can assume as a Spring of '65 build based on the neck stamp, pot codes, and pickup dates, this Jazzmaster shows off all of the hallmarks of Fender's flagship offset. The original 3-tone Sunburst finish has faded and ambered nicely, presenting as a warmer overall 'burst than what we typically see from this era. The original tortoiseshell guard remains break-free despite typical shrinkage in areas.

Under the hood, we find completely original electronics throughout. A combination of CTS and Stackpole pots for the Lead circuit show date codes of the 50th week of '63 and 8th week of '65, respectively. The grey bottom pickups feature their original covers, with the bridge pickup showing the most legible date of '4-9-65' in pencil on the underside of the bobbin.
