HIGHLIGHTS ALDER BODY

A classic Fender tonewood known for resonance, punch and clarity, alder has a balanced and lively tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end.

MAPLE NECK WITH 7.25" RADIUS ROUND-LAMINATED ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD AND VINTAGE TALL FRETS

Round-laminated rosewood fingerboard adds warmth to the tone and the 7.25” radius fingerboard provides vintage comfort and feel, while vintage-tall frets provide slightly more height than vintage for big bends and wide vibrato.

MID-'60S "C" SHAPED NECK

This classic '60s shape is comfortably rounded and starts off slim at the nut, thickening moderately toward the 12th fret.

VINTAGE-STYLE MID ‘60S PICKUPS

Mid '60s spec Jazzmaster pickups capture the essence of classic Fender single-coil tone with warm, woody character and smooth attack, delivering rich, full-bodied sound with the distinctive depth and clarity that made these offset guitars the choice of surf, pop and indie musicians.

VINTAGE-STYLE FLOATING TREMOLO WITH PUSH-IN TREMOLO ARM

One of Fender's most beloved designs, this “floating” tremolo offers the sound and feel of a vintage unit for classic Jazzmaster® warble. Create effects ranging from subtle surf and expressive indie shimmer to radical shoegaze dives and glides to add a cool personal touch to your music.

LEAD / RHYTHM CIRCUIT

This classic offset Fender circuit makes it easy to dial in preset rhythm and lead sounds and switch between the two on the fly—great for live performances.
