I’ve had this Jazzmaster for about three years and have really enjoyed it; I'm the first owner. I installed a Mastery bridge and GFS overwound hot pickups, but I will include the original bridge and pickups, too. Comes with all the original papers, cable, and hard case (including keys).
Condition-wise, there are dings in several places and buckle rash on the back (I always played with my shirt untucked, so it might actually be from my shirt buttons and not the belt) - anyway please see the photos - there’s only one ding that actually goes through to the wood. I toured and played the Surfer Joe festival with it last year, so it comes with a little mojo, too.
I’d like $1800 shipped in the US. I’ll be putting it up for a 7-day auction and on a couple other websites, so I don’t plan to have it much longer.
Here's some info from Fender on the model:
VINTAGE 1965 JAZZMASTER STYLE
For the guitarist who craves pure vintage Fender style, the American Vintage series presents original-era model year guitars built with meticulous attention to accurate detail that bring Fender history and heritage to authentic and exciting new life.
Built using original tooling and based on actual 1965 models we tracked down, the U.S.-made American Vintage ’65 Jazzmaster takes you back to the middle of that musically momentous decade, when the reverb-drenched surf had largely receded and the Jazzmaster acquired elegant new design features and began its long, steady ascent toward must-have status for subversive new generations of alternative guitarists in the decades to come.
