Fender / 1962 Jazzmaster / 1962 / Guitar
|
Very Good condition, 7/10, Dakota Red is considered a very rare custom color on the 1962 Jazzmaster, and extremely rare with this combination of Dakota Red over Fiesta Red over Desert Sand (DS was used as a primer until mid 1963 when the primer used was more white), the Fiesta coat glows nicely under a black light but the Dakota coat does not, which seems to prove that the Fiesta has a top coat and the Dakota does not, matching headstock, we have lots of internal pics that show the nail holes and all the other details a collector would like to see, was bought in the classifieds in Sweden 30 years ago and the guy who owned it had not opened it so he thought he had a 1963, but we found the entire story when we opened it up and it has a few stories, first the bad news:1: 2 replaced pots (one from 52nd week of 1974 and one from 41st week of 1975)2: 2 extra ground wires attached (one to the brass shielding and one braided wire attached to one of the bridge posts)3: routed for humbucker legs in both pickup cavities (which probably means it at some point had a different pickguard with humbuckers, perhaps in the 70 s? Luckily no extra holes so the pattern was obviously the same)4: the foam under the pickups has been replaced with modern foam5: the logo on the headstock has only the word Fender, the rest has been lost over timebut the good news is that it except for the pots it still retains all it s original parts. A few more things: The nut has been shimmed, and one D-string bridge saddle screw is worn, also one height adjustment screw for the bridge pickup, a couple of the bridge saddles have been placed wrong (large thread on thin strings, narrow thread on thick strings) but we decided to leave this as is because it works, the solder joints at the both pickups have been touched but there is no trace of the pickups being rewound so this could be from when the guitar has humbuckers, including original brown tolex Fender hardcase
