Selling my awesome Jazzmaster! This was purchased from Chicago Music Exchange last winter. The checking throughout the whole guitar is absolutely beautiful. Feel free to message me about any details!

Our goal with our Custom Shop Jazzmasters was to make the absolute best sounding and playing JMs out there. Seems pretty simple right? Combining a mix of vintage specs, and modern mods we think you'll agree that we hit the mark. From 1959 to 1966, our "Chicago Special" Jazzmasters have a 7.25" radius, a slab rosewood fretboard, and a rift sawn maple neck. The magic really happens under the guard with the combination of a 250k volume pot and our Chicago Specials. Based on a set of 1961 Jazzmaster pickups, George Bland helped us craft our set to have higher output in the neck position than the bridge. The bridge pickup is slightly overwound giving it a smooth and round presence, while the neck pickup is moderately overwound giving it a huge bottom end with with round highs. Both Alnico 5 pickups are potted in shellac to give them a wide and open dynamic range, and wound with 42 gauge enamel wire. When you put everything together, you get the most balanced Jazzmaster on the market!

• 42 gauge enamel wire for round highs

• NECK: Moderately overwound for huge bottom end but with clear, round highs
