i got my 65 jazzmaster on ebay from a guy in houston, when i was living in san diego. his uncle had died and he was selling his stuff and had no idea what he had. i got it for $600 (not including S&H), and the neat thing about it was that it had never been painted. just a clear coat, no paint. so it was wood colored. apparently, his uncle worked for fender earlier in his life. i kept it like that for a while, but i've always wanted a green jazzmaster (green being my fav color, and jazzmaster being my favorite guitar). so i took it to a local shop. i put $400 more into it, getting it painted, the pickups rewound, neck sanded and finished that kinda stuff. i gotta say it's everything i thought it was gonna be and i love it. only thing bad i have to say is that the "hum/buzz" is kind of annoying, but other than that, it's tits. so i say... BUY AWAY GOOD SIR! but get it painted...... i cna't stand that sun burst color, w/ the red pickguard.
