1959 Fender Jazzmaster (Candy Apple Red refin)

1959 Jazzmaster, in candy apple red with 3ply vintage Tortoise Shell Pickguard - originally Lake Placid Blue (refinish likely done in factory circa 1963-65, due to the presence of a transitional gold Fender headstock decal.)

Serial Number: 33848

Unique deep Candy apple red finish, due to the lake placid blue remaining underneath. Yellowed clay dots, indian dark rosewood fretboard.

This is the guitar featured on the loveless album cover artwork, as well as in the bands loveless era videos, used by Kevin and Bilinda. Seemingly a special guitar to Kevin.

Purchased by Kevin in 1988-89. 

Used initally for 'slow' and 'you made me realise' (Reading 1989). Used for 'i only said' and 'to here knows when' on loveless tour. Used for 'The Coral Sea' preformance with Patti Smith.

Seemingly retired from live usage post 2008. - Kevin now plays a custom shop issue which is very close in look to this guitar (minus the matching headstock) for 'i only said' seemingly as a replacement for live shows.
