A true pre-CBS classic, this 1959 Fender Jazzmaster in Sunburst is the kind of guitar that rarely leaves a collection. Introduced only a year prior, the early Jazzmasters defined Fender’s offset identity with wide single-coil pickups, floating tremolo, and a warm, articulate voice that set them apart from their Strat and Tele siblings. This example — serial #33460 — carries the unmistakable feel of a late-’50s Fender: resonant, lively, and full of the character that only six decades of honest play can create. With its original Sunburst finish, slab rosewood fingerboard, and period-correct hardware throughout, this Jazzmaster is a beautifully preserved piece of Fender history.

Key Features:

• Vintage 1959 Fender Jazzmaster — early offset design from the model’s second production year

• Original Sunburst nitrocellulose finish with natural aging and patina

• Slab rosewood fingerboard on a maple neck — the classic late-’50s feel

• Wide, flat Jazzmaster single-coil pickups for warm lows, airy highs, and signature articulation

• Floating tremolo system with period-correct arm and hardware

• Original electronics layout with lead & rhythm circuits intact

• Includes original Fender hardshell case (OHSC)

• Vintage, player-grade condition — cosmetic wear appropriate for 65 years of life; hardware and finish show honest aging, but no structural concerns

Condition: Vintage and well preserved for its age. Finish shows checking, edge wear, and natural patina consistent with late-’50s nitro. Frets show typical wear but remain playable; neck is stable, truss rod responsive, and electronics operate cleanly. All components have been inspected to confirm era-correct originality where applicable. The pickguard is not original, though it is an early 60's Fender pickguard installed during a time Fender was making the switch from gold aluminum to tortoise shell. A wonderful example for collectors, session players, or anyone who understands what makes the early offsets so special.
