(ARCHIVE) Used Fender Jazzmaster '66 Reissue Seafoam Green
- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender Jazzmaster in seafoam green, crafted in Japan circa 2002. You don't see many of these... and hot damn, what a sight to behold! The timelessly cool offset body shape is perfectly complemented by the always-awesome seafoam green finish, and to top it off, a matching headstock. This guitar looks absolutely stupendous, it just oozes 'cool'. It doesn't stop there though, it's got that big, thick round JM tone and is a little 'rounder' in tone than other examples of the model we've come across. The dual circuitry is simple once you work it out, and offers a wide range of tones and easy switching between smooth-and-thick to -bitey-and spanky. The neck is in great shape and is a pleasing medium profile, combined with the super-comfy body, you can play this all day. Also included is a great quality brand new gig-bag. Guitars this foxy don't come along very often!

Cosmetic condition notes: Light finish wear. A few nicks and scratches here and there, nothing too concerning. Reasonable ding on the top of the headstock. Normal aging on chrome parts, they're looking good. Case has scuffs and scratches and some mild corrosion on the latches, but is looking good. Overall condition: good.
Playing condition notes: Action is fairly low, neck is straight, intonation is good. All electrics tested and working properly. Recently been through a Topshelf setup with fresh 11-gauge strings. It's nicely balanced and playing brilliantly, and that big tone... so good.
