Up for sale, a 1994 Fender Limited Edition Jazzmaster in mint condition and in perfect working order. Produced only in '94, this Jazzmaster matches Pre-CBS specs and features both gold hardware and a semi-transparent blonde finish over an ash body. Complete with the original blonde hardshell case and all hangtags, this is a pristine example of one of the most collectable Jazzmaster reissues produced by Fender Japan. The guitar was crafted in the famed Fujigen factory and the fit and finish of this Jazzmaster easily rivals many of Fender's USA-made offerings.
A textbook example of everything we love about the Jazzmaster, the instrument has plenty of twang and sparkle on tap, with a range of powerful and defined tones from the two single coil pickups, and warm, wooly sounds when switched to the rhythm circuit on the guitar's lower body horn. Featherweight at 7lbs 7oz, this Jazzmaster is among the lightest examples we've ever had in the shop. Setup to perfection here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar where we specialize in Fender Offset instruments, this Jazzmaster is dialed in and ready for the stage and studio with fresh 11-50 strings.
The vintage amber tinted maple neck has a comfortable slender C shaped profile with nicely rounded shoulders and a smooth gloss finish. The nut has the traditional Fender 1 5/8" width and the slab rosewood fretboard has a rich, stripey grain pattern and dot inlay. The scale length is a full 25 1/2", and the fretboard has a vintage Fender spec 7 1/4" radius. The frets are flawless, with no visible wear and well rounded crowns. The guitar plays cleanly up the neck with solid intonation and no buzzing or dead spots. The headstock sports an Pre-CBS style "Spaghetti" Jazzmaster logo, with Kluson-style gold tuning machines which turn smoothly and hold pitch well.
All of the electronics work as they should, and the wiring and pickups are stock. The vibrato unit works smoothly, and engages easily for quick warbles and surfy dives. The gloss transparent blonde finish, tortoise shell pickguard, and white plastic parts are in exceptional shape, and we actually just removed the protective factory plastic from the pickguard prior to offering this guitar for sale. It's a true time capsule piece! The "Made in Japan" designation and LE (Limited Edition) prefix serial number are present at the heel of the neck and back of the headstock respectively. As a nearly 25 year old guitar, we're comfortable with calling it mint, and there are only a couple extremely shallow tiny nicks on the guitar as a whole
The original blonde tolex hardshell case with brown leather ends is immaculate, and the guitar comes complete with all original paperwork and hangtags.
