2000 Yamano Fender American Vintage '62 Jazzmaster reissue in nitro Shell Pink finish with matching headstock.

Yamano, the exclusive distributor of USA Gibson and Fender instruments in Japan, commissioned Fender to produce a limited run of matching headstock offsets in 2000, with each color being limited to 50 units.

Allegedly Fender's Custom Shop oversaw/helped with production, and I'd believe it based on the craftsmanship of these early Yamano models (compared to the dozen or so USDM AVRI Jazzmasters I've owned over the years).

This example has been played and naturally worn—it wears it gracefully.

Neck pocket stamped March 18, 2000.

100% original and fully functional.

Condition
Cosmetically the 26 year old instrument is in good shape with various dings, chips, scratches, and finish wear commensurate with age. Shell Pink finish has yellowed dramatically with age. Chrome hardware has patina. Pickguard has pick markings from play. Sticker ghosting on body.

Frets have minor wear with no egregious divots. No buzzing/fretting out/etc. Back of the neck is clean with a handful of very minor dings.
