I was reminded by a friend about this super clean 1961 Fender Jazzmaster this morning that breezed through the shop in 2017! It has a rare factory Blond finish with Ash body instead of the typical Alder body.

Fender's Jazzmaster model electric guitar debuted in 1958 as their top of the line guitar meant to supersede the Telecaster and Stratocaster models. It sold well enough but players seemed to gravitate back to the simplicity of the Telecaster and Stratocaster over time. The main thing holding it back was the new low angle floating bridge design. It was designed for use with heavy .012 gauge strings which fell out of vogue in favor of lighter strings in the 1960s. This introduced some issues with break angle over the bridge that weren't easily resolved. The Stratocaster and Telecaster both had bridge designs that weren't susceptible to playability issues with changing string tension.
