(ARCHIVE) Used Fender Jazzmaster '66 Reissue Seafoam Green
- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender Jazzmaster '66 reissue, seafaom green, crafted in Japan 97-00. This is a non-catalog special-order finish for a Jazzmaster, it's somewhat of a 'unicorn': often spoken of but rarely seen. This one is in tidy shape too, there's really not much to show for twenty years of play! The sometimes-maligned offset bridge has been replaced with the ever-practical Gotoh tune-o-matic, which lends the guitar a more reassured, solid attack with a slightly brightened tone. The tone out of the JM pickups is magic: thick, rich, creamy... it loves some proper gain and responds quickly to differing attack. Level up your awesomeness with this in your life.

Cosmetic condition notes: mild finish wear. The back is pretty clean, there's what looks like the start of some checking lines if you look closely. The top is also pretty clean, just a few dings here and there. There's some marks around the side, near the body contour carve and strap pin and down near the input jack. Really it's all looking pretty tidy. Overall: very good condition (8/10).
Playing condition notes: Action is low, neck is straight, intonation is good, truss rod works. All electrics tested and working properly. Setup with 11/49 strings. Serious killer!
