Looking for a JM I sold here 5 years ago

Post by my bloody television » Tue Jul 17, 2018 5:30 am

I know this is a long shot but I sold my 2005 IBM AVRI '62 Jazzmaster on here just about 5 years ago in a time when I had too many guitars and not enough money. Most of the guitars I sold I could live with parting ways but I've always missed that Jazzmaster and thought I'd try to see if whoever bought it is a) still participating on the board, b) still in possession of the guitar, and c) maybe willing to sell it back to me?

this is what it looked like when I sold it:

It had Novak pickups and a noticeable amount of play wear (plus some manufactured wear on the back of the neck thanks to some steel wool). I think I remember seeing a picture of it a year or so after selling where it had a mint guard and a staytrem installed.

Again, I know it's a long shot but i miss the guitar and would love to have it back. I know what I sold it for and I also know that realistically I won't be able to get it back for that same price but maybe negotiations are in order?

Do you remember the serial number? That would help pin it down.

I don't unfortunately. I know I could spot it based on certain wear marks but yeah, no serial number on hand.

That's a beautiful JM and I can see why you would miss it. I have an '05 AV Deluxe Vintage Player '62 Strat in IBM. I will be parting with it on my deathbed and not any sooner.

I'm not that guy, but do you have the user name of the person who purchased it?
Twang, Reverb, and Echo - it's where it's AT!

Thanks guys. I’ve actually managed to get in touch with the current owner. Will update if I manage (or can afford!) to get it back.
