NGD: 1999 Jaz.mas..
I've always wanted a sherwood green jazzmaster. This one just came in the mail. It's a 1999 AVRI, completely stock, missing a reverb handle (which is fine as i had a spare). Overall the guitar is in pretty good shape.... except for the decal which promptly stuck to my fingers and half the "Jazzmaster" lettering fell off. Bugger, i forgot they place the decal on top of the clear coat, so now i have a Fende. Jaz.ma... FUUUUUUUUU
anyway, I replaced the bridge with a Staytrem and will probably look into getting some Antiquities in the near future, and it needs a proper set up.

Thanks rob. I think you've posted a pic of that tele a while back, right? I remember it looked awesome.
I think I paid way too much for it. Around 1700USD. Add to that shipping and customs to get it to Australia and a weak AU dollar ... sooo, I don't think i'll be doing that again.
*edit, sorry i got the dollar conversion wrong

Ah that's gorgeous. Never seen an AVRI in Sherwood, should be a keeper. Especially since you've destroyed the decal now.
Re:price, that's about what I'd expect these days although I can't comment on a weak conversion. I think they were about $1800 new like 6 years ago (last I checked), and with inflation and Fender's consistent price hikes I'd say you did fine.

That's really nice, it makes me want a Sherwood/mint JM even though I've never thought about that before. And AVs always kick ass. Nice guitar.

Thanks guys. The neck was business card shimmed, so i replaced it with a tapered full neck shim i fortunately had laying around. The tailpiece screw/spring was locked out, so loosened that up as i require mah whammies. So far so good.
I think it was available on '62 reissues between 1999 and 2000.J0K1 wrote:Is that sherwood green some kind of a limited run?
