Fender

This is a rare opportunity to get into a factory custom color Jazzmaster from the 1960's, at a bargain price.  This 1965 L-series (pre-CBS) still retains it's original Fender factory finish on the neck and this includ4es the Candy Apple Red headstock face.  The body was stripped years ago and has been painted to match the original headstock finish.   The pickups and most of the electronics are original and a pot code of 70-2125-0240  504-6508, showing a manufacture date of 8th week of 1965.  The original preformed interior electronics shield is intact as is the original cloth wiring.  The neck appears to have been re-fretted in the past and it plays with ease.  The neck is straight and the string action / playability nice.  This guitar includes a newer Fender hard shell case.

Although Kurt was seen playing a variety of Fender guitars over the years, his Fender Jaguar and Mustang remain the most iconic due to their use on the "Nevermind" tour and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" music video. Kurt designed the Jag-Stang to combine his favorite elements of both instruments and brought it to life with help from the Fender Custom Shop in 1993. Commemorating the 30th anniversary of Nirvana's seminal record "Nevermind," this Jag-Stang comes equipped with the same features that made it Kurt's ideal instrument. The Alder body delivers a punchy tone perfect for big power chords, the 24" short-scale reduces string tension for easier playing, and the 7.25" radius Rosewood fingerboard with Maple neck has a comfortable feel that won't fatigue your hands when chording. The vintage-style single-coil and custom humbucking pickups are perfect for recreating Kurt's classic tones, while the Mustang slider switches provide the flexibility to dial in four distinct settings for a variety of in or out-of-phase tones.

For players who want the style and sound of Fender’s golden era, they created the Vintera 60s Telecaster. Equipped with the coveted features that defined the decade—including period-accurate neck profile and hardware, along with re-voiced pickups—this guitar has all of the chime and articulation that made the Telecaster a legend. For authentic, vintage-style tone Fender recreated the "lipstick" and open-coil Telecaster pickups to sound more like the originals. Crystalline and bell-like, they have the crisp, articulate tone that put Fender on the musical map. The thick, fat-shouldered "Early '60s C"-shaped neck has a 7.25"-radius fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets for classic playing feel. A Bigsby vibrato allows for expressive vibrato effects without compromising the characteristic Tele twang, while vintage-style tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability. Other features include four-bolt neck plate, chrome hardware, vintage-style strap buttons, and the original gigbag. Made In Mexico.

Since 1951, the Fender Precision bass has made its mark in practically every genre of music imaginable.

The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Relic Precision Bass pays tribute to the landmark Precision Basses that put Fender on the map in the studios and stages, with accurate detailing including electronics and hardware - from the split humbucking pickup to the vintage tuning machines and bridge. The chrome bridge and pickup covers were included to further the authenticity of this Custom Shop build.

In 1959, Fender added the Rosewood fingerboard and then the Tortoise shell pickguard to the Precision Bass. After the Rosewood slab board was added to the production of these basses, Fender decided to use up the remaining gold-anodized aluminum pickguards before switching to the Tortoise Shell gards, waiting to be introduced. This very short period of time has become a highly collectable version of the Precision Bass, only lasting for a few months. This is the Custom Shop tribute to this highly collectable Precision Bass.

This beauty was an USA Custom Shop made in 2008 and played ever since. It has a real lacquer finish on it, chrome pickup and bridge covers as the original 1959 Precision had, and the vintage style bridge and tuning machines as well. The wear on this bass is relic'd wear produced in the factory Custom Shop facility to appeal to the legions of vintage loving players by mimicking 70+ years of heavy gigging. This bass includes it's original vintage style hard shell plush lined case, owners manual and lacquer finish brochure.
