2017 Navigator N-JM-ASR Jazzmaster in Blond finish.

Navigator was ESP’s vintage reproduction subsidiary, with the instruments produced within the ESP Custom Shop workshop. All instruments are hand-crafted with meticulous attention to detail—including extensive manual shaping and finishing—using traditional methods and the finest available materials. Production of all Navigator instruments ceased July 31, 2025.

This JM is well-balanced and resonant, with minor play wear. Features include a thin lacquer finish, Seymour Duncan Antiquity I pickups, and two piece center seam swamp ash body.

Unless you're looking for a super slim and slick FujiGen Fender Japan neck, this JM exceeds nearly all other available options.

Original retail was ¥550,000 ($3,499).

100% fully functional.

Set up with D'Addario 11-49 strings, playing up and down the neck with proper intonation.

Includes original Navigator hard case (slight tobacco smell; instrument is fine) and all original parts.
