Setup for optimal playability with Daddario EXL110 10-46 (10/8/25).
- Intonation screws are worn/cammed out at the head end. The intonation is basically correct, so I did not adjust.
- There are two mysterious wooden shims under the A and D saddles, even though the adjustment screws seem fine and capable of full travel. Also did not mess with them
Diagnostic info for this instrument:
"Kluson Deluxe" tuners are period-correct for this instrument
Headstock decal is questionable - "Offset Contour Body Pat. Pending" is missing but appears to be torn or worn off, leaving just a tiny remnant of the "C". If this is a replacement decal, this area could have torn off during application. If it is original, this is not a typical example of wear.
Neck has stamps consistent with Fender labeling in 1966
Neck Stamp: 13JAN66B:
- "13" is designation for '66 Jazzmaster
- "JAN66": Neck manufactured January 1966
- "B" is designates Normal neck width"
- Pot code: 304-6545: 45 Week, 1965
- Pot Code: 137-6451: 51 Week, 1964
