    Does this look refinished

    I am thinking of buying a 65 jazzmaster but I have to travel quite far to see it. All I have now are a few photos.
    The problem is that it looks too new and I am not sure the logo is right.
    The serial number ,pots ,and stamp on the neck al confirm that it is a 1965 so I`m not worried about that part. I just don`t want to travel the distance to find out it is a refinished guitar. Could someone who owns one tell me if the finish and logo look right. Sorry these are all the pictures I have....thanks. Oh and also the owner says that he put a new pickguard on it but has the original for me.

    Those photos are some of the worst I've ever seen. The one of the headstock looks to me like a refin: The high gloss, & smooth look to the extra string tree plug makes me think there's a LOT of lacquer on there. The decal looks like it is under the finish as well. That'd be wrong.
    The body shots are too blurry to tell anything but the finish seems to be a very shiny for a guitar that old.
    I'm gonna say
    REFIN

    But the logo is the wrong design for a 65 isn`t it?

    Don't know about Jazzmaster logos. There's enough wrong there already that the decal itself doesn't matter.

    I'd think anyone serious about selling that guitar could provide a potential buyer with some better phtots. Beware...

    Looks like a decent refinish job to me, however, That logo is definitely wrong.
    Lots more info here:

    That is a purty guitar!
