ANTIQUES ROADSHOW | 1964 Fender Jazzmaster with Bandmaster Amp | Spokane Hr 3 Preview | PBS 

I've watched this episode about 50 times now.... That's a beautiful guitar and amp

I found and bought back my original 68 Gibson SG bass 30 years after I sold it 6 times what I paid for it. Still worth it. Glad to have it back.

I'm glad the gentleman got his guitar back and amp back. I wish he plugged it in to give us a demo.

The shipping was theft in itself!

$1,300 to ship a guitar? Was the box padded with $100 bills?

'Had an Ampeg Gemini II taken from my car back in the 70's and would love to get that back!

I bought a 67 Fender Mustang bass (new) and a Bassman amp for $250.00 in 67. The amp looked a lot like this amp but had a brown grill cloth. Trade the bass for a Gibson EB3 in 70 and the amp for a Sunn 200S with an Orion cabinet in 69. Still have the bass. Jim

He looked so disappointed when he heard the valuation.

I know how that chap feels about his guitar, i have a telecaster that i have had for over 50 years.

A friend of mine and me went to look at an " old guitar " advertised in a Perth Australia Sunday paper. It turned out to be a 64 Fender Mustang for $90. We had to work hard not to give away our keeness as my mate whipped out the money quick smart!

Beautiful guitar!

Bet that rig sounds killer!

GREAT story from a very lucky man.

i'm 29 now. when i was about 17 ( i think) I had a really old acoustic guitar - it had to be from the 1940s or 50s at least. My sister brought it to her friend's house one day and i never saw it again.. i'd do anything to get it back

Interesting to think, for old guys like me, this is what we were playing on back in the sixties brand new! Now they are on an Antiques Road Show.

You could see in his face (like most people on this show) he was hoping this guitar was worth 100k.

Joe Bonomassa probably owns both now!

That was not shipping,he just got his money back on buying it

Such an engaging story, jeez.

😹”I was pretty sick about the chips “

My dad had this exact guitar. He had it from the mid sixties until his death in 2001. My mom sold it for $8,000 in the original case which had crushed velvet burnt orange lining , but she could have gotten $12,000 if my dad hadn’t painted it after he got it. He wanted it bright red and did not like the plum purple-ish color that Fender had applied.

We're did they send the guitar 4 times around the world and back ... Omg !!! That's just crazy ...🎸🎸🎸

That guitar is worth way more.Bring it to Seattle!!

Richard from Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto is the man when it comes to vintage stringed instruments..

"Chipping and handling?" He had to pay for THAT?

Candy Apple Red is the best custom color in my opinion. I was always torn about the matching headstock era. I think I prefer natural headstock.

Jazzmasters are awesome guitars.

There is a 1964 Bandmaster at Guitar Center right now for $2100. There is a 1964 Jazzmaster on Reverb right now for $7000, so total about 9k, pretty close to where we are total at the start of 2019.

I had a 1970 Ebony Les Paul stolen from my car while I was loading out after a gig in 1995. They also took my 1985 JCM800 100 watt Marshall head. I never recovered from the loss financially and had to give up the band.

I love a vintage guitar with a story!

I’d press charges just because of the damage.

wish he'd pick it up and play it....always a nice touch on guitar memorabilia

Great story mate, live long and prosper sir

when I get ripped off I prefer up close and personal with the perp., that has always worked out for me.

I had a Fender Dual Showman (w/reverb) back in the 60's. The cabinet had two 15" speakers and was the best sounding amp ever made. It made my Univox es335 knockoff, sound like the real deal.

'' let me call one of my buddies to have a look, then he'll come and rip you off ''

Part of the problem is not many people like those models but it is worth far more today in 2023

My ol neighbor Grady Wilson had one, got burned up in a storage shed behind the house when his kids was playing with fireworks.

This old man didn't seem too impressed when he heard the value of the guitar and the amp. He just shook his head and said nothing. He must have thought it was worth about $50,000.

Speaking of being in the right place at the right time.

I would've told the dad, "You're paying the shipping... AND, your kid is going to jail!"

Nice set-up for a beginner......... Hahaaaaaaaa!!!! Great set Man! GREAT!!!

$300 back in 1964 with inflation is about $2,500 today

Re: shipping. Some dealers only sell amps for in-store pickup because of the complex damage exposures tube amps have in shipping. The solution involves foam board all around in addition to tons of bubble wrap. Gets to be a pretty big box if you want a Bandmaster in it. Probably three boxes. It went both directions shop-to-shop, no person-to-person. The agreement was to pay all the shipping both ways, so $650 each direction. Almost certainly insured for $10-15K both ways. I got my grandfather's handmade early 20th-century cedar chest shipped with high-assurance damage prevention packing. Bigger than a Bandmaster, but still cost me $600 about 10 years ago, $800 in 2019 dollars.

Back in my day we wore an onion on our belt, which was the style at the time .

Sounds like Hank Hill

I had my 1964 sunbusrt Stratocaster stolen in the early 1980's ... I had bought it used from a local music store in 1976 for $225.00 ... never did get it back, although almost 40 years later I still have the police report, serial number, photos etc ... maybe someday.

i watched elvis costello play one of these. the sound he made

3:20 Awkward staring, nodding and silence at the end, someone should’ve played a solo

Tickled to death? That’s one way to go.🤔

The market has definitely gone up on these things since then.

The guy who bought it probably paid $1300 for it and broke even on charging him "shipping and handling".

I like that amp

Stuff's worth as much as someone will pay for it.

Dudes story is about exciting as the time my older sister took my favorite skateboard to sit on while partying in the woods and left it there.

That $1300.00 shipping had to include the amp & cabinet, which is still high!

I want them both.

I live in Denver and just bought a guitar in Philadelphia and paid $60.00 for shipping.

It was put on a cab?

I’ve paid around that much in shipping to have my Fairlady Z shipped to Canada from Japan

Also old fender tube amps the best..power..

I had a Gibson les Paul back in the day thieves broke into my mates place and stole it ransacked the home,never got it back collectors item, in the 70s cost me a month in wages

but will he play shoegaze on it??

64 of anything is great.

Add the 1300 shipping cost to the undervalued estimate....and then double or triple the cost. How much would you have to pay Norman , at Norman's Rare Guitars?

Keep it !

Sweet

Pre CBS Fender is where the big bucks are.

This dude does NOT strike me as the type to blow you away with an impromptu ' face melter' at parties, but ya never know....

Great guitar story. The story should help to price.

The truest way to authenticate the month/day/ year it was made, is to take the neck off and look at the numbers on the heel of the neck. 64 means pre-cbs so numbers will be hand written in pencil. Cool guitar.

I have a 68 I had redone with candy apple red.

I bet that rig would sound great ripping Wipeout by The Ventures. (Man, those frets were nasty)

I would have disowned my kid if he ever pulled a stunt like that….🤬🤬😂😂😂😂

He was right on the value on the amp. But a beat 1964 jazzmaster cost between 10,000-17,000$. I noticed the look on the gentleman's face when he said 6000$. I don't think he fully agread on what he said.

That's the way to do it. You don't negotiate with thieves.

Don't understand about the waterslide fender decal. Though they were silk screened on.

You can ship a les paul, across the country, with insurance for 250, he got poked at the post office. He probably hired a shipping company.

I didn't know Jonathan winters rocked!

Junior would get a serious talking to

Cool story!

I could never sell that thing

Is' not that the same fender jazzmaster that Elvis Costello used to record his first album?

I bought a64' Goya at the Hell's kitchen flea market in NYC about 5 years ago for $100.00 Got to the UPS place and they charged me $125 for the box, packing peanuts and shipping to Nashville. Didn't insure it. I have no idea how you get to $1300, that's the amount they tack on to CARS for delivery.

Valuation of the guitar is probably because it’s not mint perfect, but the amp looks great for something that old.

A 1964 candy apple Jazzmaster with matching headstock for $6500? Gimme a break. That guitar is worth twice what it was appraised at. You could put it up for sale for 10k and it would sell immediately

My father bought a 60,s Fender Jazzmaster when I was 4 years old and sold it for $200 , made him happy because he didn’t loose any money on it. Now he’s 70 years old and kicking himself..By the way , I can’t stop kicking him either !!! 😂😡

More E9 than Candy apple red. 🙂

best I can do is 10 dollars

1,300 shipping???? Wow, did someone walk it both ways??? I can see collecting the guitar for a wall hanger, it was bottom of the line in 64. The amp is a very cool in its own. I'd value it higher than the guitar. Grunge in the 90's made this guitar famous. They bought it in the 90's for the same reason they did in the 60's ...price was/is much less than a strat or Tele.

Something of an aside. I'm pretty sure fender got and possibly still gets their paints from the auto industry.

Trying to locate my dads old Vox guitar. It was taken too the Texas guitar show in the early 80s .

Wow, pre-CBS.

I'm a bassist, I have an 79 Fender Jazz bass wonder what it would appraise for. Also, I'd so looooove to have a 62 Fender Jazz bass like Jaco Pastourius or John Paul Jones played, anyone got a spare 15k they could loan me? LOL

would have rather known about the guitar than the cool story about it

Check your insurance cover carefully !!

He had to mean amp, cab, and guitar. Overnight? I could see 1300

What on earth he talking about 1300$ for shipping?

I had a 1964 candy apple red jaguar in perfect condition but it got stolen in 2004 .

How many years did he do in prison for murdering his son? I expect they let him off with a warning.
