Year: 1962. Serial number 74xxx, neck heel date stamp "4MAY62B" (4 = Jazzmaster model, May, 1962, B neck width 1 5/8"). Check out How to date a Fender Jazzmaster
Measurements: 8 lbs 4 oz, neck depth at the first fret = .81", 12th fret = .99"
Modifications: Most of the wiring has been replaced with newer cloth wire, replaced tone pot and capacitor, replaced output jack, replaced rhythm/lead switch, small hole plugged in pickguard near output jack, replaced switch tip, new frets, and a bit of overspray on the back of the neck where the finish was worn.
Playability: Excellent! This one plays like a dream with perfect set up, straight neck and nice working truss rod, excellent working electronics, etc. It's ready for the stage or studio.
