60s Jazzmaster

The guitar arrived in great condition,

Even though you often hear they need a shim in the neck with these mine doesn't appear to have a problem. Everything is working fine mechanically. The guitar came with 9 gauge strings but putting something thicker on seems to come with no downsides. At least 10s work great.

Pros and Cons:

+Incredibly comfortable to play, because of the low weight and great body shape. Also very well balanced.

+Great Jazzmaster sound

+Trem system seems to be working fine and the guitar stays in tune

-Mine seems to have some sort of weird buzz, it is not related to the 60/50 cycle hum. More like input jack issue or maybe static electricty.

-The frets are a mess - they don't seem to be polished at all and bending feels like dragging the string over sandpaper.

Either way both of these can be fixed.

As far as I can tell the tuners work fine, the nut is cut correctly, no fret sprout, the neck has clear coat (you may not like it), all the knobs are working fine and have no scratching noise, nothing is coming loose on the guitar either.
