FOR SALE – FENDER CUSTOM SHOP 1962 RELIC JAZZMASTER IN SONIC BLUE
I purchased this amazing 2008 Jazzmaster from @Hattigol ;last month, and damn fine it is too. However, my second attempt (I tried a Classic Lacquer Jaguar in 2021) at a more traditional spec has failed miserably. So am reluctantly placing it up for sale (a first world problem if ever there was one).
I can truly say it is an incredible guitar. The pickups have both deep resonance and bright clarity – a real range of sound. All three positions are versatile, and when you roll some treble off the bridge you get a raspy almost p90ish bark – wonderful. The guitar itself is light; at the high 7lbs on my bathroom scales – but certainly sub 8lbs. The sonic blue is sublime, lovely checking and fading (I have tried to get it into the shots), lots of overall relicing and a really nice organic feel. I would say this is the most “vintagey” guitar I have played/owned outside of actual vintage. It is just great…but not for me.
Per Fender, the neck is a typical c-shape with .820 on the first fret and .900 on the twelfth and a 1.650 nut width with 45085 frets. Condition is as I received from Stephen (via @DB1 ;thanks Dave !!) – so it performs very well. Excellent action and spot on intonation (courtesy of the superior Mastery bridge). It has a tiny bit of fret wear, but nothing that affects actual play. Complete with the original G&G hardcase, COA, booklet and sticker, plus tan Fender strap and of course the trem arm.
Priced at £2,750 - I have a G&G outer box so can ship insured at buyer’s expense although would prefer collection from sunny Bath.
