https://www.gbase.com/gear/fender-jazzm ... ascis-19601960 Fender Jazzmaster in PURPLE w/ OHSC!
Beautiful 1960 Fender Jazzmaster refinished in Metallic Purple AGES ago. Kind of like the J. Mascis Jazzmaster decades before it came out! Entire instrument (body, neck, headstock, knobs) refinished sparkle purple, neck dated 12-60, Slab Brazilian rosewood fretboard, the pickups, electronics (pots date 43rd week of '60), tremolo, bridge, tuners and tortoise-w-b-w pickguard appear all original, new tremolo arm and pickguard screws, 1-5/8" nut, 25-1/2" scale, brown OHSC. This is a one-of-a-kind instrument that has a TON of character. Only one available!

Re: Needs more purple...
I think the color is cool as it looks good on a Jazzmaster body shape but the purple pickups and knobs are too much.
My philosophy when it comes to vintage instruments is to keep them as original as possible though so I hope the original finish was completely gone and not salvageable when the decision was made to go with the purple.

I'd rock that purple monster, but not at that price.

This one has J Mascis written all over it!
Purple + vintage Jazzmaster?

Re: Needs more purple...
This one popped up on my Reverb feed, it speaks to me on many levels an I really want it but unfortunately not something I can afford right now. But its epic.

Re: Needs more purple...
It definitely looks real cool...during the Without A Sound tour (IIRC), J had a Jazzmaster painted in a similar colour...

Re: Needs more purple...
Looks awesome, but it is of course a ludicrous price for a refin, even more so with the back of the neck painted over which would be a dealbreaker for many...
