What should I look for when buying a vintage guitar?
I love Fender Jazzmaster guitars, but I only own newer reissues. There is a store near me that has several vintage jazzmasters from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. What should I look for when testing/examining the guitars to ensure that I don’t get ripped off/buy a bad guitar.
Wear on the neck and back and machine heads. Check the number on the backplate! You need a certificate of provenance when buying a vintage guitar. Have an insurer check it out for valuation if you can.
Original case makes a big difference to value.
