Fender Custom Shop '62 Jazzmaster Lush Closet Classic Candy Apple Red Overview
The Fender Custom Shop '62 Jazzmaster Lush Closet Classic is a nod to the eye catching original. Intended for Jazz guitarists but eventually ruling the surf rock, indie and punk scenes, the Jazzmaster is a titan among six strings. And this Custom Shop recreation captures everything that made it so special, and gives you perfect replica of a true '60s original. Starting with its dual hand-wound pickups, they provide the platform for mellow tones and stunning, crystal-clear articulation. Armed with these you'll be voicing those bright '60s sonics to perfection.
If that hasn't got you salivating, the accurate and eminent playability of this '62 special will. Run your hands down the round-lam rosewood fretboard to discover a surface that's ripe for riffing, and just so easy to play. It's backed up by a '62 Jazzmaster style maple neck for added stability and comfort thanks to its carefully carved "C" profile. Pinning it all together are the shimmering vibratos and excellent intonation shining through the RSD bridge and tailpiece, giving you the pristine performance the Fender Custom Shop is known for.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionSound like the sixties
Light up the stage. Sometimes recreating the tones of your favourite artist from back in the day is such hassle, well, luckily Fender have done the hard work for you! Featuring hand-wound Jazzmaster pickups with period correct wiring and components, the '62 Jazzmaster brings the past to life through its magnificent pickups. Boasting crisp highs, smooth, syrupy lows and a full, defined mid-range, these wide single coils are up to the task, whatever you want to play.
But this is a Jazzmaster, so in addition to fine control over your sound through master volume and tone dials, you can instantly switch up your sonics through a period-correct lead / rhythm circuit on the neck pickup. Inject extra bite, or give presence to the lows to lend your chords extra body, anything's possible on this Custom Shop beauty.
Round-lam rosewood
Fret with freedom. It's the pinnacle of playability. Rosewood fretboards are some of the best surfaces out there, and the round-lam material Fender have used here surpasses the rest. Not only is it smooth, luxurious and a delight to play on, but it also flaunts the worn-in finish of a veteran instrument. Carved into a 9.5" radius for cosy chording in addition to luscious leads, it's time to put your stamp on a guitar that's seen plenty of action.
True Jazzmaster style maple neck
Heavenly to hold. Fitting naturally into your palm, the effortlessly comfortable "C" shape can be played for hours without fatigue. Even better, its frictionless, slick nitro lacquer finish means you'll be gliding around the positions without trouble. And while the Relic finish of the Jazzmaster gives the impression of an elderly guitar, the expertly crafted '62 Jazzmaster style maple neck ensures you'll be playing for years without any fear of shrinking, warping or bowing. Finally, you'll love the unrestricted access to the upper frets with the Jazzmaster's generous cutaway, so get expansive and adventurous!
Premium Jazzmaster appointments
Those masterful touches that raise it above the rest. Conjure up mystical shimmers through the tremolo and expect precise, accurate intonation from the rare RSD-J bridge with compensated brass saddles. Over the other end of the guitar, a bone nut will keep your strings ringing pure, free from any irritating buzz, and a set of vintage tuning machines help your tuning stay on point.
To keep all of these wonderful, lavish features playing their best, it comes with a deluxe hardshell case to ensure your prized possession remains looking and playing its best for many gigs to come. Complete with a strap so you can get on stage immediately, there'll be nothing stopping you with the Custom Shop '62 Jazzmaster.
