Tonewoods, Fit and FinishThe Jazz Strat Deluxe is made of alder, a tonewood Fender began using in 1956. The offset body is topped with figured maple and finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer.
Jazz Strat Neck ConstructionThe Jazz Strat Deluxe has a solid rosewood neck—a rare option generally seen on Custom Shop models—and has a C-shape profile. The fretboard is also rosewood, has 22 narrow tall frets and block inlays.
Texas-Style ElectronicsFender outfitted the Jazz Strat Deluxe with Texas Special Strat single-coil pickups. Enamel-coated magnet wire adds to the vintage tone, and they’re built with period-correct cloth wire and fiber bobbins. The middle position pickup is reverse-wound to eliminate hum. A five-way pickup switch gives a wide-range of tonalities to explore.
Upgraded HardwareThe tremolo/vibrato on the Jazz Strat Deluxe is an American Professional. It has a pop-in arm with adjustable tension to fit your playing style. Vintage-style tuners offer precise adjustments.
The Parallel Universe Vol. II Jazz Strat Deluxe comes with a certificate of authenticity and a Surf Green deluxe hardshell case.
