The history of the Jazzmaster
First introduced at the 1958 NAMM Show with a great deal of chrome and controls, the Fender Jazzmaster was originally designed for traditional jazz musicians. However, it soon found itself embraced by heavy reverb-drenched surf style guitarists through the 1960s, lip-curling punks in the ‘70s and legions of alt-indie from the late ‘80s to the present day. 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 much more subtle attack than their single-coil cousins. A first choice among players across the globe, experience the next chaper of a guitar that has defined and re-defined comfort, remarkable tonal versatility and character of electric offset guitars for decades.
