WITHDRAWN Fender Classic 60s Jazzmaster Surf Green Lacquer fully upgraded with case

Keefy · September 2023

Having recently acquired a lovely SC Relics Tele, space restrictions require me to move on another guitar. Priority in my guitar rack tends to go to those guitars that earn their keep on gigs, and although I have gigged this one a fair bit, it's more for fun at home these days. I will particularly miss the nice wide neck above the 12th fret that makes the Mr Brightside intro at least somewhat feasible for my sausage fingers...

This is a 2015 Mexican Fender 60s Jazzmaster in the short-lived light 'lacquer' finish, in luscious Surf Green. It has had the following upgrades:

Mastery vibrato and bridge
Mojo pickups
New wiring harness
Cavities screened with copper tape

The Mastery vibrato is the earlier model, which can be prone to adjusting itself downwards as you play. I have locked the adjustment threads in the two posts with a dab of glue, at optimum height. This is easy to remove if you like, and you still have full height adjustment on the bridge saddle pieces.

Weight is a well-balanced 3.6kg (7lb 15oz in old money).

There is some light dinging to the body and neck but that was part of the idea of the lacquer finish and it certainly didn't put me off when I bought it. I have set it up to play easily, with a nice set of Elixir 10s fitted.

These offset guitars are often too big for standard cases and gig bags, but this one comes complete with a light-weight fitted Rockbag semi-hard case.

It's a lovely guitar but don't just take my word for it - @dazzajl recently had a loan of the guitar and was moved to write in the thread 'Jazzmasters - what's the best option': Apparently, it’s a Mexican 60s Lacquer in surf green, upgraded with Mojo pickups and loom with Mastery bridge and trem. I say that because I’ve just taken such a thing from @Keefy’s house and it’s absolutely glorious.

Price is £950 by collection or meetup. I'm in Swindon but quite often gig around Bristol and Gloucestershire. If I can obtain suitable packaging then I will add delivery as an option.

No trades on this one thanks.

This is such a fabulous guitar. I’m still really sad I couldn’t make a trade including the SC Relics tele because I needed the cash. And of course anything coming from Keefy is always going to be set up and working to perfection.
