The 1967 Jazzmaster DLX Closet Classic is a late sixties offset with light aging and white pearloid block inlays on a 3A rosewood board. The body is 2-piece select alder, or ash on the Vintage Blonde, under nitrocellulose lacquer, with a rift sawn maple neck in a 1962 Jazzmaster shape.
The 9.5" radius and narrow tall frets keep bends clean. Two Custom Shop Hand-Wound Flat Magnet Jazzmaster pickups run through the full vintage circuit: the 3-position toggle for the lead side and the slide switch for the rhythm circuit. The RSD Jaguar/Jazzmaster bridge works with the floating vibrato and pop-in arm. The pickguard is 3-ply parchment or 4-ply brown shell depending on finish.
For a year earlier in heavier Relic aging, look at the 1966 Jazzmaster Relic. The 1963 Jazzmaster Relic is the early sixties version with a compound radius and dot inlays.
Finishes are Aged Lake Placid Blue, 3-Color Sunburst and Vintage Blonde.
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.
