Our take

Who this one is for

The 1963 Jazzmaster Relic is an early sixties offset with Relic aging: a 2-piece select alder body and quartersawn maple neck in nitrocellulose lacquer, worn the way a guitar wears after decades of regular playing.

The neck has a 1965 Strat "C" back and a 7.25" to 9.5" vintage compound radius, so it feels round near the nut and flattens out higher up where you bend. Twenty-one narrow tall frets sit on a 3A rosewood board. Two Custom Shop Hand-Wound Jazzmaster pickups run through the full vintage circuit: a 3-position toggle with master volume and tone for the lead side, and the slide switch that selects the rhythm circuit for the neck pickup. The RSD Jaguar/Jazzmaster bridge and pop-in arm handle the floating vibrato.

For the mid-sixties version with Fat '60s pickups and a straight 9.5" board, look at the 1966 Jazzmaster Relic. The 1967 Jazzmaster DLX Closet Classic is the lighter-aged take, and the Artisan Jazzmaster NOS has no aging at all.

Finishes are Aged Shell Pink, Aged Surf Green and Cimarron Red, all with a rosewood board.

The photos show one example. Wood grain and aging vary from guitar to guitar, so the one built for you will differ in the details.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. After you order, we check with the supplier and email you an ETA. If it changes, we let you know, and you can cancel.

Want an estimate for this model before you order? Ask us in the chat.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses Ian Vance's bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
