There's an amazing candy red mij jazzmaster on eBay at the moment, but its got a few cosmetic wears and tears. Would it be worth getting it despite these imperfections or should I wait and get a brand new classic player jazzmaster? I ask because its rare to see good jazzmasters this cheap in Australia. So what should I do?

Ask yourself this : Can you live with the wear and tear on this used guitar? If so, can you get it for a very good price? If you can live with the condition, then the price will be the deciding factor. If it was only $100 - $200 off the new price, I'd just buy a new one. If it were a screaming deal, then snatch it up before someone else does! :D It's kind of like shopping in a pawn shop...weighing condition against the price LOL

Its only $150 more than a new classic player. But the colour of the mij is just so much nicer. I think ill get the CP, but ill keep a look out for any more deals until then.

Go with your gut feelings. Good luck! I'd wait and see what else comes up or get the new one.

The MIJ JM pups on the '95 bought new were more like Strat pups under the covers and were replaced by AVRI Fender Jazzmaster pickups.
