When I was 14 my parents bought me a 64 strat for xmas, im 59 now and I still have the guitar and play it daily ,my parents have passed away in the last few yrs, I would never sell it for any reason, ive had it looked at for a value its worth around 14 to 20k, my wife wants me to sell amd pay off our house which has about 13 or 14k left on it ,but there is no way I will sell my strat for any reason ,one reason is i still play almost everyday I have other guitars but my strat is the most important because my parents got it for me to me its no amount of money my parents are gone now it the guitar has so much more value to me than money, great guitar mathew ,I would keep the guitar just the way it is play it, I bet it plays and sounds awesome with those pickups ,stay safe amd god bless

I was stationed in the Air Force in Alaska in the mid 70's. I was in a popular band up there. The other guitar player was in the Army. He bought a 61 Jazzmaster from Army Salvage for $75. He stripped it and took it all apart. He didn't know what to do with it. In the process he ruined both pickups. I bought it from him for $75 in pieces. We didn't have places to repair pickups back then. Several years later, my cousin refinished the guitar in Black Lacquer. It came out gorgeous. I found a set of DiMarzio Cream color Humbuckers that fit perfectly. Back in those days you didn't keep several guitars like we do now. You had maybe 2 and one acoustic. So I sold that Jazzmaster. What a mistake, such a great guitar. I'd love to have a white one. I did have a couple more but they never sounded right. I had a 64 Candy Apple Red one but it just didn't sound good. Back in those days, again we didn't know how to make guitars sound better like we do now. Good Luck with that beauty and Merry Christmas.

Thanks for sharing! It looks original and complete to me. I hate how nit picky vintage guitar guys get about little details not "seeming" right and "devaluing" the guitar. I used to see it all the time on guitar forums and it drove me nuts. Some guy would want all the armchair guitar "experts" to weigh in on his vintage axe's authenticity. They would nit pick every little detail and put doubt into everything about it being real. "That lower bout curve seem too wide!" "The knob configuration seems off!" "Are those saddles original? They look funny!" "The headstock decal placement.. yadda yadda yadda!" Haha.. Yet we all know how hand crafted each guitar was and how it could be factory worker Mel's good or bad day. The varying neck widths and shapes. So unless it is Norman Harris or George Gruhn telling you it looks off I'd go with your gut feeling. I'm no expert at all, but it looks legit to me, so I'd say just enjoy it and play the heck out of it!

Matthew, I completely enjooy your posts. I like how you fill in answers to questions like you did here. Your appreciation of things from my era (I'm 73) brings to mind guitar hunting when I was a teenager completely out of the buying market but not the wishing market. I had a Ventures guitar with a cheep 10amp amplifier. I was never any kind of a player and tried to rekindle that love at age 66. But my hands weren't having any part of it. I've since bought guitars that needed repair and given away once repaired and still have three of those. nothing special. Guess I can thank Gibson nd Fender for not addressing the issues of broken necks and cheep Aisian manufacture for my being able to get ahold of anything at all. I've decided to build my own manufacture (if you will) and have four body styles I'm presently working on. Your video's give me just enough info to encourage me to go out and try something not so much as replicating Gibson or Fender. Lesson learned though a guitar is hust a body of some type of fiber, aneck of sometype of fiber, strings, tuners, neck and bridge, if electic then pickups, switches and pots. not much new our there except shapes. Thank you for your willingness to share as you explore the life and history of the guitar past.

I actually owned a 1965 or before Jazzmaster. When I got it the body was a mess and the headstock was the blonde finish you speak of. I matched the headstock color and did the body to match. I'm sure someone will say "why'd you do that?" Well this was 1984 or so and having a relic wasn't really cool. I was collecting and made it look like it should and even used nitrocellulose lacquer. PS. You mention "why would someone change the neck?" Well another collector I was friends with back then bought a 1958 Fender Stratocaster from an old guy who was a player back in the day. My friend left with the guitar and the guy who sold it called him when he got home to tell him he had 5 necks that go with the guitar. This old guy wore the necks down and had the Fender dealer get him another when that happened.... True story.

I know little to nothing about Jazzmasters, and found it curious about the 2nd swtich and set of knurled "knobs" pertruding through the pickguard near the guitar's upper edge. With a little surfing I discovered the deliberate separation of "rythm" and "lead" pickups, and their uique wiring Fender designed and incorporated. The large difference in winding resistance between the rythm and lead pickups adds to my curiosity, and makes me wonder what their original design goal was. The pickups look quite a lot like Gibson P-90s, but reading about their differences was also very interesting. I applaud your efforts to uncover the autheticity of your guitars, and video the process, which adds to the reason I enjoy watching your channel. Keep it up!

I Really enjoyed your 65 Jazzmaster exploratiion. I have had 3 pre 65 Jazzmasters over the years and still have a 64 date, white with white headstock. The back plate has an earlier serial number though from 63. I believe mine is an older refin. It pays great and was reasonable. I learned a lot watching yiu take apart your 65. Love the blond over ash! Rare finish!

Everything looks up and up to me. The Color, pick ups, controls, pick guard, bridge, and also the neck all seem to be all original and a rare find. It’s amazing that you found it. Can’t wait to hear how she sounds. Anybody that would question the neck with that date code that’s ink stamped on this neck is being really picky. But if they see something that proves differently that you and all the other people aren’t seeing it’s not the original neck to the guitar. I don’t see that happening. The only reasonable and possible way that neck is not the original neck is if something was wrong with the original neck when the guitar was built and had to be replaced immediately by fender under warranty for the original owner.

Really interesting video once again Matthew. I love all the detective work that goes in to trying to decipher the history and unique marks and character of old guitars. I bought a ‘76 Mustang from an old Country & Western club performer in Edinburgh. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿There was a hole in the front just below the scratch plate. When I asked about it he said he was playing in a pub in Leith and someone threw a dart at him and it stuck in the guitar! Not 100% sure I believe him but it certainly looks like a dart hole! I’ll make sure I pass the story on if I ever sell it…

I had a 1965 Jazzmaster, blond, with blond headstock. It had a white pickguard. Although the body finish was really excellent and matched the headstock color beautifully, I could not convince myself that the body finish was original, due to certain overspray patterns in the body cavities. The neck was hands down the best Fender neck I've ever had, and I have owned dozens and dozens of Strats, starting back in the 70's. In fact, I put the neck on my 1964 Strat and probably played it that way for 3-4 years as my gig guitar. No binding on the neck. Serial was L96---. It had the newer version of the headstock decal, with JAZZMASTER in big block letters. Looks like it was made a few months earlier than this one you have. Those late Jazzmaster necks are the best Fender necks ever made.

Nice video and awesome guitar. Had a bit of PTSD though when you took that pick guard off. About thirty years ago I opened up my '63 Jaguar to clean the pots and then let it sit for a couple days before attempting to put it back together. None of the screw holes would line up and I had to hack away at the bridge PU hole before it would fit again. Still have the guitar but I have never opened it up since then.

I had a white 1966 I sold a few years ago. I never played it very much. My dad bought it for me around 1979 from his friends son who bough it brand new. The son played it in high school and put it in the attic when he went to college where it sat until my dad bought it for me for 100.00. The neck had no binding on it. The frets were quite worn even though the guitar had not been played that much. The back neck had a bunch of stain on it from where the guy played open chords a lot. The color of the wood on the back of the neck had darkened even though it sat most of its life in the case. It was a beautiful color. Not the color of your neck. The neck was very thin from the back where your hand is toward the front. The radius of the fingerboard had a sever radius to it, more than any other guitar I have played. It was really really easy to wrap your thumb and hold bard chords at the same time. You should radius the neck. I think its something like 7.8 or so. The strings were very close together, as to each other, as to the width of the nut. I tried to clean it one time with soap and water and the top coat of the finish started to come off, so I stopped. Try the same to your guitar, but the body looks real for sure. The last thing about the neck that just looks way way wrong. Look on your video at 1:57 in the video. The guitar looks like mine, but the color of the neck wood looks new. The color of my neck was much different. The color of my neck looked like the neck you show at 1:28.The binding looks new too. Oh yeah, the color of the fingerboard was very dark in color, almost pure black. You could see no wood grain in it at all very much. Yours is light in color with lots of wood grain. If I remember correct the frets had a goldish color look to them. I don't know why that would be, but that's what I remember. I see at 3:54, on your neck the lacquer finish looks cracked. I don't think my neck ever had enough finish on it to crack at all. The body had at most three coats. I guess the neck may of had two light coats of clear. All this being said, I would hate to steer your wrong, so take every thing I say with a grain of salt. I haven't played in years so I sold a bunch of stuff, but I miss that guitar. Please pardon bad grammar and typos. Good luck and God bless.

Oh my. The end stamp. I need to pull the neck I've never pulled off my fretless p bass. It's got a decal on it so I always figured it was old enough that I wouldn't open it while it still played okay, but now I'm really curious to see if I can date/identify the neck; it's on a zebrawood Boogie Bodies body, which is a single slab of wood as far as I can tell, and I priced a bunch of necks that looked like they had decals on them and skimming them the neck was bare minimum worth over twice what I paid for the bass (which I never want to sell, I like it). I got my Rhodes for an order of magnitude under what they sell for now lol but both of those are heavy to lug around, regardless of how much I love them.
