It can't be completely original, since the vibrato has a patent number on it and the original run had PAT PEND as in the tort guard example shown briefly.
Didn't the first 1958 Jazzmasters have the flat-top, chrome volume and tone knobs? They didn't have the "witch hat" knobs carried over from the Stratocaster design that you see on this guitar. You should put chrome knobs on this like Fender used in 1958-'59.

Correct!
This is the way its was found over 30 years ago... a parts guitar? An employee guitar? Leo's guitar? Who knows...but it's awesome Fender folklore.
Thanks for the video, Mike. Keep 'em coming! We need a singlecut Junior video.
No problem man !! I’ll do a post on a Junior !
love the backing track,played in a band a long time ago,and one of the guitarist had a late 60's jazzmaster,very nice,keep up the good work
Thanks Tim ! They are cool guitars !
Beautiful
Thanks so much !
Yea...that patent number on the vibrato assembly gives me pause.
Cool!!
Thanks man !!
Is there lacquer over that anodized guard?
I’d paint it neon green and put a Floyd Rose in it.
😀don't forget the scalloped fretboard and the overwound rail humbuckers.
... and by neck I mean fretboard.
