NGD: 1966 Jazzmaster Olympic White

Most details in previous thread. Short rundown: very similar to the AV65 reissue specs wise (including neck profile). Everything dates to late 65 and first couple of weeks of 66. Guitar appears to be all original and untouched. Needs some work to make the pickguard flatter so pickups can be adjusted.

Feels like I’ve bought into bitcoin. But sounds wonderful!

Thx all! Throughly enjoying sharing a home with this. My girlfriend confronted me the other day, saying she was jealous of the amount of attention I was giving my new JM.

I keep coming back to this and seeing this checking. It's absolutely beautiful. I love when they get this look of a 'slow crawl'. It's like a spider web or some strange etch-a-sketch. Love it :-*
