Fender 2013 American Special Jazzmaster Black Rosewood USA 53803
Description (More pics below)
You're looking at a 2013 Fender American Special Jazzmaster in black finish in great playing condition. It has a couple minor cracks in the headstock, professionally glued. Features:
— Alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard
— C-shape, 9.5” radius neck w/ satin back
— Jazzmaster special humbucking pickups
This Jazzmaster is a player with marks and scuffs but no huge dings or large paint chips. I can’t show all the wear, as they are hard to see stuff on the back and elsewhere. It plays great. Minor fret wear. Previous owner over-tightened the B and high E tuner nuts leading to some very thin cracks, which were professionally glued. The cracks are solid and don’t move. Save a few hundred off this USA guitar if you don’t mind some mild cosmetic stuff. NO case. See full specs below. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. Thanks!
Short video showing how I pack a guitar.
Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

An American classic returns with a streamlined control set
You may have expected to see a few extra switches on the American Special Jazzmaster, but for this version Fender went with a streamlined control set. Three-way switching and master volume and tone controls make it easy to dial in a wide range of tone. And with the generous output of the dual humbucking pickups, you can easily fine-tune your tone with your pedals and amp just how you like.
Anchored tailpiece enhances your sustain
You may also have noticed that the Fender American Special Jazzmaster sports an anchored tailpiece instead of the typical vibrato tailpiece you'd expect on a Jazzmaster. While that may slightly restrict your surf rock licks, the anchored tailpiece enhances your note sustain and definition. Between this and the Adjusto-Matic bridge, the American Special Jazzmaster gives you excellent intonation and tuning stability too.
