(SOLD) Fender Japan Classic 60s Jazzmaster Old Candy Apple Red 2016
Fender Jazzmaster, old candy red, made in Japan 2016. A rich red Jazzy with a matching hat... my oh my, what a time to be alive folks. 'Old Candy Apple Red' is a little darker and more mysterious than regular CAR, so it looks a little more distinguished and a bit snazzier. The classic JM curves look incredible and balance perfectly in the hands, and paired with the comfy slim vintage C neck, this feels great. The tone on deck is bright and vibrant, with a springy attack, open treble and a wide, chewy midrange with plenty of character. These Japan Jazzies are very enjoyable guitars and seem to be increasingly hard to source, especially if you prefer not-sunburst-please, so hey be a clever lady and nab this while it's going.
