Fender Made in Japan Traditional 60s Jazzmaster Sunburst 2019
Fender MIJ Trad Jazzmaster, Three Tone Sunburst, made 2019. What a beauty. This model replaced the long-running JM66, and it didn't change a whole lot. You get the classic early 1960s Jazzmaster appointments: gold logo, slab rosewood fretboard, three-ply tort guard, alder body, dual circuit electronics and the iconic Offset Vibrato tailpiece. This one is nice and light, and the alder body has some beautiful deep lines of figuring on show under the burst finish. It's got that signature open, percussive, clear JM sound, which cleans up beautifully and will handle all manner of effects and maintain a certain clarity. This is setup with care and ready to roll; you're going to have a nice time.
