^^At least you'll be able to confirm whether or not it's a genuine gold pickguard when you drill it for installing the switch for the onboard preamp that will help you deal with those gutless P90s.

I hate seeing these 60's Japanese era guitars flooding the vintage forum

Heh, I see in 1959 they were still grappling with the 'snapping high-e string' feature. Call Fender and demand refund!

Yeah... And some idiot left his old strap in the case (that BARELY protects the guitar, by the way!). I mean come on, how could anyone possibly think this case was worth saving?

Re: Just got this crappy old Jazzmaster from 1959...
Kind of appropriate really- a case that barely protects guitar that's barely worth protecting...

6 on a side Tuners?
Utterly useless.
And everyone knows brown-trimmed tweed cases don't make it. Don't they??
Jeez.
Sincere condolences.

red, yellow, silver, gold, black,... YUK!
What a hideous combination. They couldn't decide on the color so they used them all.
just spray everything over in mat black and make a dent in the tank!

If you want my buddy will use a band saw to make all those round parts pointy, and then we could do sweet multilayered red/white/black Van Halen paint job!
