Fender Bass Guitar Appraisal

Fender American Standard Jazz Bass

This is a right-handed American-made Fender Jazz Bass featuring a classic offset-waist body design finished in gloss black. The instrument is equipped with a maple neck and a matching 20-fret maple fingerboard with traditional black dot inlays. It features a four-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, which provides a striking contrast against the black body. The electronics consist of two single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, managed by a chrome control plate with three knobs (typically two volume and one master tone). The hardware includes a high-mass vintage-style bridge and standard open-gear tuning machines. Based on the construction and the modern bridge design, this appears to be an American Standard series model produced between the late 2000s and mid-2010s. The condition appears well-maintained with a high-gloss finish, though slight surface swirling and typical minor player wear on the pickguard are visible. The craftsmanship is indicative of Fender's high-end American production standards, known for balanced weight and resonant tonewood selection.
