Fender Jazzmaster, made in Japan 1993-4. Candy apple always looks sweet on a JM; this one is no exception. The matching headstock, dark choc rosewood board, lightly yellowed plastics and slightly worn candy apple red is a superb combo; it looks awesome. The neck is well played in and feels instantly familiar; it's a smooth and easy player. The hard hitting JM-plonk is all there; there's a nice balance of brightness and juicy thick lows. These Fuijigen-era offsets are getting pretty scarce, so if you've been on the hunt, here's your shot!
