Limited Edition Custom Shop 1959 Jazzmaster
Originally created for jazz musicians (yet popular among surfers as well), the Jazzmaster was first introduced in 1958. Its refined appearance and rich, melodious sound, accompanied by a revolutionary tremolo system, made it a favorite over the years. The Fender Custom Shop has paid homage to the iconic 1959 Jazzmaster, known for shaping new music styles, by adding contemporary elements to this limited edition deluxe model.
The two-piece alder body sports the iconic offset curves designed for guitarists who usually played seated, and also wears a Deluxe Closet Classic lacquer finish, giving it the look and feel of a guitar that came out of the factory, was never played, and aged gracefully inside of its case. We went for "sort for lightweight" to make sure it didn't come out too heavy. Our friends at the Custom Shop picked out the lightest piece of alder on hand at the time. And for the color, we kept it simple and refined: Black, with an anodized gold pickguard.
The tinted, riftsawn maple neck sports a period-accurate ’62 Jazzmaster C profile, while the rosewood fingerboard has been updated to 9.5”-radius and 6105 (Narrow Tall) frets. The piece of wood chosen for this one is especially nice, as we went for the "Sort for Dark Rosewood" upgrade.
Tied together with ultra-flexible, vintage-style Jazzmaster wiring—including the famous “lead/rhythm” circuit, complete with thumbwheel controls—the Hand-Wound Jazzmaster single-coil pickups sound mellow and fat; the model’s calling card.
Other features include the RSD J-Bridge for better stability, with brass saddles for extra warmth. It has vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and a wing string tree with the extra tall spacer. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
