1959 Fender USA Jazzmaster (Nobelman Purple Relic)Truly a once in a lifetime guitar! Made in the USA in 1959 before being professionally restored in 2026 by Peter Donohue (Orthius Guitars Vintage Guitar Finishing Co) in Lawson, NSW. Refinished in a metallic purple nitro and given a "Nobelman" light relic with some checking and minor playwear along with a full nitro respray to the neck. Astonishing craftsmanship behind the rebuild from one of Australia's best luthiers. There's a brand new custom aged

With a full gold hardware loadout including vintage-style tuners and an upgraded bridge

Seemingly refinished professionally in a colour that's close to Capri Orange (although it could be the original finish that's faded or was a custom order

The OD-1 was released in a time when fuzz and distortion were the go-to choice for guitarists and overdrive was considered to be too underwhelming
