FS/FT: 2004 CIJ Fender Jazzmaster JM66b (w/upgrades)

jacklawtey · January 2019

Initial caveat, there's probably only a year or so left in the frets before they need dressing (or maybe a refret?) so the action is (for some) a little high. It's personally not a problem but i've got massive hands so be wary!

Jess Loureiro pickups, Staytrem bridge, Staytrem arm and collet, black pickguard (original included).

Owner before me was a clumsy bugger so it has its fair share of dings and scrapes, the worst being a ~1cm dent on the back of the neck around the 12th fret. Also missing a tailpiece screw for some reason (?), the bottom right one when facing the guitar. The headstock is a bit dinged up too. I personally like it, it's rough enough for it to look well used but not abused.

Bad out of the way, it's a rare and beautiful thing. The pickups are gorgeous, the neck (for me) is an absolute winner and it's a real feast for the eyes. Every upgrade you'd want to do is done, shielding and the frets sorted and it's an even shinier diamond. Also comes with a passable hardcase.

I'm gonna test the waters at £900 at the minute, considering what I paid for it, the upgrades and the scarcity. I have no qualms with keeping it.

In terms of trades, try me. Wouldn't be against adding some cash for the right thing. I don't like anything too fancy or too pointy.
