April Birthdays 
I've been hunting for a '63 Fender guitar for a while. '63 is my birth year. Happily, I was able to buy this lovely refinished '63 Fender Jazzmaster in Candy Apple Red with matching headstock (bit of sparkle on the finish as well). Here is the seller's description:
Up for sale is a vintage 1963 Fender Jazzmaster in Candy Apple Red with blonde case. This guitar features clay dots, black bobbin pickups, and a slightly chunkier neck like the early 60's Jazzmasters were known for. The tone overall is a bit darker than the mid to late 60's Jazzmasters. The neck stamp is Sep 63. This guitar is original with a few exceptions. The body and head stock face have been professionally refinished in Candy Apple Red. This is the most beautiful Candy Apple Red paint job I have ever seen. It's arguably superior to any original Fender C.A.R - it's that good. The neck features it's original finish other than the head stock face. The original nitro finish on the back of the neck is smooth and pristine and is NOT worn through anywhere. The frets are original, and in excellent shape. They have not been dressed and show only the slightest grooves on the first few frets. The Brazilian Rosewood slab fingerboard is pristine and shows no finger wear whatsoever.
The main volume and tone pots are original and dated 304 6237 or Stackpole 37th week of 1962. The roller pots are original as is the enitre wiring harness complete with original masking tape. The nitrate mint pick guard is original as is the shield. The pickups are original, as are the bridge, trem block, trem bar, pickup covers, pickup switch and switch tip, strap buttons, and single line Kluson tuners. The guitar features its original bridge cover. Neck plate is L23XXX and the chrome is pristine on the neck plate with hardly any scratching. The volume and tone knobs are not original. The guitar plays great and sounds killer.
I opened up the guitar and took as many photos as I could. I brought it into my guitar tech to give it the once over as well. Plays great! I safely stored away the stock bridge and put on a Fender Mustang bridge. On to the photos!
