Item History & Price
1961/62 Fender Jazzmaster Electric Guitar with Case - Sunburst - Vintage Slab
Here's an example of an early 60’s Slab Board Jazzmaster in “players” condition. We listed the guitar as a 61/62 because of the serial number overlap during that time period. From the second you pick up this guitar you know right away it’s all vibe. We acquired this guitar from a lifelong friend of the original owner after he passed. The owner was a well known local musician who used this on ...countless gigs and recordings through the 60-70’s. The playing area of the neck was sanded by the original owner in the 70’s and the lacquer he used to seal it reacted with the original finish over time giving it that dark hue. It does not affect the playability of the guitar. It appears that headstock was untouched as well as certain parts of the neck around the heel. The unfortunate part is that during this process the original pencil date/ink stamp was removed. Not only does it feel and play great, but the frets also have plenty of meat on them. Compared to our 62 Jazzmaster, this neck feels only slightly slimmer to the original profile. Whoever did the work did a nice job as the neck is smooth and fast. As mentioned before, it it’s a players Jazzmaster and currently, the "Lead/Rhythm" selector switch is not working. When the switch is in the down position, no signal passes but all other electronics work. We had taken the pickguard off once during the initial purchase (to confirm pickups and wiring) and getting it back on was tedious and stressful to say the least. Vintage tortoiseshell pickguards tend to shrink over time so we decided to let the next owner use their preferred method. The guitar oozes vibe and you can sense the true love the original owner had all through it! This will make a killer addition to a vintage collection without the big vintage price! Other features include the original brown Tolex hardshell case and Trem arm. All latches on the case work but the handle has been wrapped in tape (see pictures).
