1960 Fender Jazzmaster - refinished to original sunburst color

1960 Fender Jazzmaster For Sale: $5000 to fans on this forum. I
will be listing this at reverb.com for $5500, but am offering it
to Fans of The Ventures for $5000. Price is firm and if it
doesn't sell, I will hold onto it for some more years.
This guitar has been refinished and restored to its original
color and state by master luthier, Dana Sutcliffe.
It plays and sounds like a NOS Jazzmaster!
I bought this from the original owner who purchased it in 1961.
He told me it was painted white when he bought it. Apparently,
the music store owner rented guitars at the time and probably
had it repainted for some reason. The original color was
sunburst.
The bridge and nut were replaced with period correct parts. The
pick guard has warped over the years. Dana was able to flatten
it somewhat, but it reverted back to the warped state, although
not as much as when I got it. All original parts are included
as well.
Not only are the pickups original…they were hand wound by
Abigail Ybarra! She signed her name as “Gail” underneath the
pick guard.
Dana also used period correct DuPont paint for the finish. I
have receipts for all work done.
Comes with original case that is worn, but the real thing. Also
comes with original guitar cable, tremolo bar and a mid-sixties
Jazzmaster hang tag (not the original that came with this
guitar).
I bought this as a player’s guitar, not really for collecting.
It has had very minimal playing. That being said, it is still a
collector’s guitar that will definitely increase in value.
I have some major expenses and have decided to sell my guitar to
someone who appreciates its tone, quality and value.
