Jazzmaster 77-78 Vintage (just)
Guess my Jazzmaster only just makes the vintage cut (pre-80)
Not a NGD as had this for about 13 years, but first time i'd seen it for a while, seems that the 70's ones have had a bit of revival.

Beautiful! Black pickguards on sunburst like yours really do it for me.

Oh my!! that's gorgeous.
Doesn't a S70 serial corresponds to 1970?

"So starting in mid-1976 the serial number was moved to a decal on the peghead. Even with the new system, Fender didn’t like to throw away a perfectly good serialized decal just because the year code would be incorrect. So, the information on the peghead could be off as much as two years. Generally speaking, a “S” prefix equals the 1970′s (Seventies)"
S7 + 5 digits = 1977-1978

This is then certainly one of the last jazzies before reissues!

Wow!
I'm sooo gassing for one of those. I've seen quite a few for sale recently - all in the €1500-1900 range, so still kinda affordable.
Definitely looks like ash - you can almost see the weight
Wouldn't bother me too much, tho...

Re: Jazzmaster 77-78 Vintage (just)
Absolutely lovely. I love late 70 Fender in general; that block neck, ash bodies, the big headstock decal, and the black pickguard are all a perfect combination as far as I'm concerned, and yours is in perfect shape. Glad you're getting to spend more time with her.
