Used Fender Custom Shop 1959 Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic Aged Olympic White OHSC

Designed expressly for jazzers (but adopted by surfers) and introduced in 1958, the Jazzmaster combined refined looks with a warm, mellifluous voice and new tremolo system. It evolved over the years, but the 1959 Jazzmaster is known as the most influential model that helped define new musical genres - that's what the Custom Shop went for with this recreation, but with a few twists for modern players.

The two-piece alder body sports the iconic offset curves designed for guitarists who usually played seated, and also wears a Journeyman Relic lacquer finish, giving it the look and feel of a guitar that’s survived over five decades of playing.  The Custom Shop went with "sort for lightweight" to make sure it didn't come out too heavy.  

The guitar is Aged Olympic White, with a layer of Electrodag paint.  This special paint is a ready-to-use conductive graphic antistatic shield acrylic coating that provides extremely high conductivity.  This helps for controlling electrostatic discharge, resulting in a quieter guitar in terms of noise.  This is a unique feature rarely found, and we dig it!

The tinted, rift sawn maple neck sports a period-accurate “ ’62 Jazzmaster”-shaped profile, while the rosewood fingerboard has been updated to 9.5”-radius and holds 21 6105 frets. Tied together with ultra-flexible, vintage-style Jazzmaster wiring—including the famous “lead/rhythm” circuit, complete with thumbwheel controls—the vintage styled Handwound 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 an anodized gold pickguard. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
