Hi.
My son was recently given a Jansen Jazzman - it has cleaned up nicely and seems to be very original except for 3 added pick-up switches which I thought were original until I looked under the pickguard and saw the extra routing - from the limited info on the web I would guess at about 1963-64 as it came with a 1962 Jaguar style Simpson string damper - it has the original Simpson whammy and Kluson Deluxe tuners with pre-1964 script - I am happy to send photos - I would like to know if the pick-up adjusters originally had springs because this one has little rubber pads on neck (black and probably replacements) the old bunsen burner tube red rubber on the middle and nothing on the bridge which was wound right up to stop it rattling -it sounds very nice and the original pick-up toggle switch givers the switched pick-up extra grunt.
Cheers
Chris
