Guitar Demo 1964 Fender Jazzmaster

This is an almost mint pre-CBS spaghetti logo Jazzmaster in such good condition it might pass for new!

Frets are vintage Fender, so low but factory fresh. I did change the nut as it was too low and I could hear a dampening of tone due to the height above the first fret.

Clay dot markers on this L series beauty.

I have also added the Staytrem bridge and tremolo arm with collet too but have the originals safely stashed inside the original blonde case.

Quite a different sound to the Jaguar; more output from the pickups and a more aggressive bright tone but having the typical offset 1 Meg ohm potentiometers, a rolling back of the volume takes the edge off the brightness. I always run about 8-9 on the volume pot on offsets as you always have somewhere to go if needed. Beautiful tremelo system as always on these guitars.

There is some shrinkage to the pickguard as is normal for this original material.

Recorded with a Carr Skylark cranked and using the normal gain and attenuator.
