Full Description
Lightweight poplar body
The Squier FSR Classic vibe late 50s Jazzmaster is crafted from poplar, which offers crystal clear highs, with fantastic high frequency response, resulting in a light tone overall that has scintillating highs. Poplar is often viewed as a soft when compared to other tonewoods, which ends up producing a tone which is well-balanced. Poplar is light in comparison to other woods too, delivering a comfortable playing experience designed to extend those performances.
Exceptional playability
This Jazzmaster is expertly designed to guarantee a fantastic playing experience. A āCā shaped maple neck enables you to easily reach both extremes of the instrument's range with ease, guaranteeing a comfortable grasp of the guitar in the process. It is fronted with an Indian Laurel fretboard, giving the performer a smooth, level surface to flash your brilliance across.
Terrific tone
Packed with two Fender designed alnico single-coil pickups, this guitar emits the nuance and bite that the Jazzmaster has become so renowned for. It is specially wired to offer access to both the rhythm and lead circuits separately, allowing you to finely tune the tone to your preference. Independent volume and tone controls allow for an overall adjustment, so you can be precise with every tonal tweak. This is topped off with a three-way switch to offer quick and efficient selection of which pickup you wish to use
The history of the Jazzmaster
First introduced at the 1958 NAMM Show with a great deal of chrome and controls, the Jazzmaster was originally designed for traditional jazz musicians. However, it soon found itself embraced by reverb-drenched surf guitarists in the '60s, lip-curling punks in the '70s and legions of alt-indie from the late '80s onwards. Fender's first dual-circuit instrument, the Jazzmaster provided a new level of versatility, while the traditional wide and flat pickups produced a broad tonality with less bite and a subtler attack than most single-coil pickups. A first choice among players worldwide, there is nothing that can come close to the naturally comfortable, remarkable tonal versatility and character the Jazzmaster guitar offers.
