Fender Traditional Late 60s Jazzmaster FSR Natural Ash w/ Blocks & Binding MIJ
Up for grabs is this scarce Fender Japan late '60s FSR Jazzmaster in natural ash finish. It’s a Japanese Fender, not Mexican, so has fantastic build quality coupled with both vintage & modern specs. This Jazzmaster was an FSR (Factory Special Run) model for a single dealer in Japan, Ishibashi, produced in extremely small quantities and not otherwise available for retail outside of Japan. It has a rosewood fingerboard (9.5" radius). It has a features consistent with the 1966 model, including pearloid blocks and binding on the rosewood fretboard, witch hat knobs, and a vintage-correct "transitional" Fender logo. Stunning naturally grained finish with a lightweight ash body & 3-ply pickguard. Very resonant and feels great to play. It has great sounding redesigned vintage-style pickups, as well as USA-spec CTS pots and a vintage-style floating tremolo with barrel bridge. It's an absolute featherweight for an Ash Jazzmaster at 3.1kg. Complete with tremolo arm, Fender branded softcase and fender Japan docs. A stunning looking & great playing MIJ Jazzmaster. Made in very limited numbers in Japan only. Some scuffing on the pickguard but otherwise in near mint condition with no visible flaws.
