Fender Gold Foil Jazzmaster Candy Apple Burst 2022
Fender Gold Foil Jazzmaster, red burst, made in Mexico 2022. This has got to be one of the best looking models Fender has produced in the last couple of decades. The midcentury style candy apple burst finish hits those classic curves beautifully, and paired with the gold capped pickups, cute knobs, Bigsby tail, block inlays, ebony board and black headstock... wow, proper gorgeous. The tone is a bit of a departure from standard vintage style Jazzy fare, but it's smooth, full and clear with a lovely creamy kick to it. The neck is very comfy too, the satin finish and ebony board make for a luxe feel. This is a knockout stage guitar, although I'm sure it would light up the loungeroom with equal pizzazz.
