The Japan-made Traditional '60s Jazzmaster Lefthand Candy Apple Red is a classic 1960s jazzmaster with traditional appointments. Authentic vintage parts like the Fender Vintage "Floating" tremolo and original Sixties dimensions with a curved 7.25" fretboard radius and 25.5" scale create the responsive feel of the original, while two Jazzmaster single coils in the large case are controlled by separate rhythm and lead circuits with individual controls for both circuits. Last but not least, the Made in Japan Traditional '60s Jazzmaster comes with a padded gig bag.
As a replica of the early jazz masters of the sixties, the construction of the Traditional '60s Jazzmaster follows the traditional specifications of the era and accordingly relies on a screwed maple neck in the classically bold 'U' profile. The rosewood fretboard also has 21 frets in thin vintage format and, not least thanks to its curved 7.25" vintage radius, gives Bending a classic vintage feel.
Both single coils of the Traditional '60s Jazzmaster are equipped with Alnico magnets and are controlled by the rhythm and lead circuits known from the classical Jazzmaster. In the lead circuit, both pickups can be selected via the 3-way toggle switch and controlled via the two volume and tone controls on the lower half of the body. The rhythm circuit, on the other hand, switches to the neck pickup and offers additional slide controls for volume and tone on the top of the body.
Of course, the famous Fender Vintage "Floating" tremolo, including a lock key for shimmering vibrato sounds, should not be missing on an original Jazzmaster. The Traditional '60s Jazzmaster, in combination with the Vintage-Style Bridge with six individually adjustable string riders, offers reliable setups and extensive adjustment possibilities, while solid die-cast mechanisms on the headstock ensure easy tuning and tuning stability.
