1964 Fiesta Red Jazzmaster with Gold Hardware!

Post by bencrit » Fri Dec 22, 2017 9:05 am

I managed to nab this one before someone snatches it up the other week. It's a 1964 fiesta red with gold hardware. Lots of wear on this one, but the color and gold hardware combo is pretty rare. The pictures are from the listing from which I bought it.

The guy I bought this from my selling a collection of guitars for someone else. I think he got some of the cases mixed up a little bit in his listings. Later he told me he found a black case, which is the correct one for this year, which was labeled "fiesta red jazzmaster." That's the one he shipped to me with a guitar. Obviously, that owners manual is an earlier version, so it was also added later.

That is super hot. Fiesta has been one of my favorite reds for a long time. Would love to put a faded relic Spitfire on that... OMG.....

Interesting. I’ve seen this one for sale a couple times prior to this. One time that was at imperial vintage guitars, I think. Another time a fellow in Mexico was selling it, who I think was a long time on her. At what point did you come across it?

Gorgeous, and I'm not surprised a beauty like this has found its way into the hands of more than one OSGer...

I sold it to someone in France...it actually had a sunglasses case with it originally, as did my old matching fiesta/gold Jaguar which I also sold to another guy in France..weirdly it's on reverb for sale right now too if you search...Incidentally I can see someone has swapped out the tuners as they were as rusty as hell..

It amazes me how these guitars travel back and forth around the world over time.

That's a bloody lovely Jazzmaster - happy NGD!

It's good to see these guitars staying within OSG - or even coming back. Of all the guitars I've had over the years - bought/flipped/traded - the only one that I truly know will never get sold is my own '62 sunburst JM - which came via OSG.

Everything else could potentially be on the chop depending on what comes up - but the Jazzmaster stays. :)

Dude, this is simply marvelous... please don't change anything about it, specially the pickguard. That fiesta red has faded beautifully... amazing! Congrats!

That is stupefyingly gorgeous!

Like Jason Falkner's, but the gold hardware kicks the coolness quotient up, several notches higher.
