2014 Fender American Vintage ' 65 Jazzmaster Olympic White W/ Lollar & Mastery
Item History & Price
Up for sale, a 2014 Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster in exceptional condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. A rare and discontinued model only available for a single year with a flash coat Olympic White gloss nitro lacquer finish and matching headstock, this Jazzmaster has been thoroughly upgraded from stock. Upgrades include a Mastery M1 bridge, genuine nitrate tortoise pickguard, and a pair of Lollar boutique Jazzmaster pi...ckups, with a traditional Jazzmaster pickup wind in the bridge position and a P-90-style pickup at the neck. Providing a particularly broad tonal range, these pickups take full advantage of the lively and clear acoustic voice of the alder-bodied instrument, with a bright, glassy bridge pickup sound and plenty of midrange bark and girth in the neck position. With both pickups engaged it's a true "best of both worlds" sonic scenario, and when switching to the Rhythm Circuit on the lower body horn, the sound is exquisitely thick and roaring. The guitar is remarkably lightweight at only 7lbs 15oz and has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 11-50 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
The maple neck has a medium C shaped profile with more roundness and heft up the board and notably more shoulder than the earlier ’62 reissues in the American Vintage line. The profile has a smooth flawless nitro lacquer gloss, measuring .849" deep at the 1st fret and .980" at the 12th. The bound rosewood fretboard conforms to traditional Fender specs with a 7 1/4" radius, and the fretwire is flawless. The neck is arrow straight, and the guitar plays effortlessly up the 25 1/2" scale. The nut measures 1 5/8" in width, and the headstock retains the stock Kluson Deluxe tuning machines.
The electronics all work as intended, with the upgraded pair of Lollar pickups wired to an otherwise original harness. The tortoise pickguard is a gorgeous recreation and a notable upgrade from stock, crafted from genuine nitrate tortoise with a wide edge bevel and compelling, vintage-correct tint and mottling. The Mastery M1 bridge is the ultimate upgrade for any Offset Fender guitar, providing notable stability and improved resonance, and working in concert with the stock vibrato unit which provides a very nuanced and fluid response. The original gloss nitro lacquer Olympic White finish is exceedingly clean, and actually has a subtle blue tinge. Wear is limited to a few stray tiny nicks and scuffs, and a tiny bit of finish discoloration on the thin nitro at the belly cut and forearm contour.
The original black tolex G&G hardshell case is included, along with the original hangtags and tort pickguard.
