Description: A very clean ’65 Jazzmaster™ from the short period during which the guitars had a bound fingerboard and dot inlays, just after the CBS takeover. This one has the typical wide, round neck to give some nice heft to its 25 ½”-scale neck. A smooth player, it’s one of the nicer ’65 Jazzmasters we’ve come across for both playability and looks.
