{"product_id":"fender-jazzmaster-sunburst-1966","title":"Fender Jazzmaster Sunburst 1966","description":"\u003cp\u003eFender Jazzmaster, Sunburst, made in USA 1966. This has got to be one of the most beautiful guitars we've  ever had through the doors. The Fender Jazzmaster launched in 1959, incorporating some of Lord Leo's most interesting innovations, This is an early 1966 example, so you get the pearl dots and a bound fretboard, as well as the cool transition logo. The red tort guard is quite something to behold, and the original Three Color Sunburst finish is blessed with abundant checking lines and minor marks, hinting at the million songs already sung. The pickups are electronics are original, and it sounds magnificent. It's certainly bright: open and expansive, with a crystal shimmer to the top end balanced by a dreamy midrange complexity and a percussive, weighty low end. There's so much breath and nuance to every chord, it's a bit magical. The previous owner  arranged a re-fret by renowned Sydney veteran Piers Crocker. It's been done right: vintage style wire, 7.25\" radius, classy new bone nut, and barely a mark in the board anywhere. The neck is slim and rounded and blessed with some gorgeous dark red Indian Rosewood and outrageous flame maple on the back, it's beautiful. It's currently wearing a set of 12\/50 flatwound strings, which is ideal in my books.
