It's not entirely accurate to say: 'Fender has sporadically reissued the Jazzmaster during the last 20 years.'
Fender Japan reissued the Jazzmaster from 1986 and this model has constantly been in production since then. However, it is accurate to say that the Japanese-made reissues have been 'sporadically availiable' outside Japan. On release they were on sale in the US, UK and Australia (and, I assume, other territories); they then 'disappeared' for a few years, although they were availiable in Australia in the mid 90s and in the UK on and off.
Fender US issued a more accurate Jazzmaster in its vintage series in 1999; at about the same time the Japanese models were re-named 'Crafted in Japan'.
The Japanese models are now widely availiable through eBay and other internet sources. The 'Crafted in Japan' series in cludes a number of variants not availiable in the US reissue series - such as a 'post-CBS' block/bound neck; an Antigua finish; and matching headstocks on metallic colours.

[edit] Too many POV favorites are being included
This article is laced with editors trying to squeeze their favorite 'non-notable' Jmaster player into the text. Perhaps it would be better to clean the article of the fancruft and create a Jazzmaster player list, that is referenced, similar to the Tele players list. Thoughts? Fair Deal 14:26, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
i agree completely, and maintaining reasonable lists of 'notable' players on my watchlisted gear articles has taken up most of my wikipedia time. i would support and do my best to assist in any effort... it's really the plague of gear articles at the moment. Tremspeed 21:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pictured Guitar
Has what appears to be an Ebony fretboard, this does not match the fretboard description of 'Rosewood' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.195.16 (talk) 03:10, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
- nevertheless, rosewood it is. fender never made a jm with ebony board. rubber, yes, ebony, no. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Petchboo (talk • contribs) 05:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
