Badlydrawnbanjo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) This guitar is very cool. It's a Jap 66 re-issue with big block and binding Jazzmaster in candy apple red. The price would be £700. I realise that the price may seem a little high for a Japanese Jazzmaster at first glance but read on as this isn't an average Japanese Jazzmaster. Firstly, the aren't many come up with the blocks and binding and if you wanted to import a new one it's going to cost you the best part of £1200. See here: [url="http://www.guitar-emporium.co.uk/Fender_Japan_JM.html"]http://www.guitar-em...r_Japan_JM.html[/url] Then you need to look at the following upgrades: Mastery Bridge ($190). Mojo Pre-CBS vintage pickups (£90). ICBM wiring (Priceless!). Staytrem tremlo system (£30). Hiscox case (£100). Strap locks (£10). If you take all these into account it should start to look like a pretty attractive price in my opinion... It's the nicest playing and sounding guitar I've ever owned and has a really great neck (7½" Rad). To me it plays better than any AVRI Jazzmaster I've tried, but you would be more than welcome to come see and hear for yourself. I'm in North East Manchester (Stalybridge). Condition wise, there's the odd minor knock to the body (nothing that has broken through the paint) and one small knock on the headstock that you can see in the photograph but nothing that would scare you off. Here's some pictures…. Cheers. Edited April 14, 2013 by Badlydrawnbanjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlydrawnbanjo Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 All the hard work's been done for you already with this guitar. you'd be looking at at least £1100 to import this from Japan and that's before the new bridge, pickups, case, trem.....

Jaymiw79 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Might be interested depending on what you're looking for Les Paul wise. I have a '76 (according to the serial number and online lookup) Les Paul custom 3 pickup version. Can't say if its all original as I've never taken it apart but I've not changed anything in the last 10 years of owning it. It's getting on for 40yrs old so there is wear on the body and the pick guard was removed before it got to me. Has Gibson case though not the original according to the shop where I got it. Case has wear due again to near 40yrs protecting the guitar. Would be looking for £1,500. Can send photos but at work now. It's a bit heavy for me really so I don't play it enough for the price it is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlydrawnbanjo Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Cheers for the heads up and that sounds like an awesome guitar but I'm only looking to top it up by £300-£400 tops really. That amount puts me into fairly recent traditional and possibly standard territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlydrawnbanjo Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) I'd also be very interested to hear from anyone who has a Fender telebration 52 hotrod they might fancy trading. Again with cash adjustment your way. Price dropped by £50 to £700 as something has caught my eye Edited March 28, 2013 by Badlydrawnbanjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
