Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a early 80's 62 reissue. This I believe is the first time that fender started to do re-issues.
I'm asking about the build quality & how these guitars are regarded?
Do not know whether this is CBS or not.
Apparently you have to remove the neck to find out & the seller does not wish to do this
Any advice greatly appreciated

Well, there's a lot of gray areas in that proposition. One, unless the sale price is just outrageously low, I wouldn't do the deal if the seller won't let you examine it by a little disassembly. The '62 reissues are generally well thought of, but don't command huge prices. They are after all, reissues, and not the originals. Then the Jazzmaster demographic is sort of a niche market in itself. Not every player out there is a Jazzmaster fan. I suppose that would have been different if Hendrix played a Jazzmaster, but that is what it is.
Many thanks
