Here’s a 1963 Fender Jazzmaster in custom color Candy Apple Red, one of the most iconic finishes of the early '60s. This one has all the right details—L-series neck plate, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, clay dots, and the original electronics, pickups, and hardware. The finish is original, with some small areas of touch-up mostly along the edges.
The neck has a comfortable medium C profile with the original frets showing moderate wear but plenty of life left. The pickups have that warm, woody low-end and clear top-end that make a good Jazzmaster so versatile—equally at home in surf, indie, or more experimental textures.
All the hardware is original, including the tremolo and bridge. The pickguard has mellowed nicely and the knobs and covers are original and intact. It's a resonant, lively guitar with a great acoustic ring and a classic offset feel.
A killer custom color offset from Fender’s golden era, with just enough wear to prove it’s been played—and loved.
Includes original blonde tolex case.
