Fender Custom Shop '59 250K Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic Electric Guitar

Description: A Modded-out Tribute to the Jazzmaster’s Earliest Era The Fender Custom Shop ’59 250K Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic offers a mellowed-out spin on Fender’s iconic offset guitar, complete with a few choice sonic modifications. It all starts off with a lightweight 2-piece select ash body mated to an ultra-sturdy rift-sawn maple neck in a ’62-style Jazzmaster “C” profile. Next, the 9.5-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard and 21 narrow tall frets offer a much more modern feel than your typical traditional-spec Jazzmaster. And while this guitar’s Fender Custom Shop Hand-wound Jazzmaster pickups deliver a thoroughly vintage-style bite, 250K pots round over the high-end for a warmer, smoother, and (dare we say) jazzier vibe. You also get a rock-solid RSD J-Bridge, a “Floating Vibrato” tailpiece, and vintage-style Fender tuners that allow you to warble, bend, and sway with impunity. To complete this guitar’s charming old-school aesthetic, the ’59 250K Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic sports a Journeyman Sweetwater is an Authorized Fender Custom Shop Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty and 55 point inspection Fender Custom Shop '59 250K Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic Electric Guitar - Aged Solidbody Electric Guitar with Ash Body, Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, 2 Single-coil Pickups, and Floating Tremolo - Aged Dakota Red A Modded-out Tribute to the Jazzmaster’s Earliest Era The Fender Custom Shop ’59 250K Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic offers a mellowed-out spin on Fender’s iconic offset guitar, complete with a few choice sonic modifications.

To complete this guitar’s charming old-school aesthetic, the ’59 250K Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic sports a Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose lacquer finish instrument that will gracefully age right along with you.250K potentiometers for a rounded-over response Ever the outlier in Fender’s 6-string catalog, both the Jazzmaster and Jaguar sport 1-meg potentiometers — four times the value of the 250k pots found on almost every other single-coil-equipped Fender guitar. Rather than rely on the offset tradition, the ’59 250K Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic takes a leaf out of the Telecaster and Stratocaster’s tonal book with 250K pots for both the volume and tone control. The result? A warmer, more mellow tone that tames some of the Jazzmaster’s iconic springy top-end. A pair of Fender Custom Shop Hand-wound Jazzmaster pickups seal the deal, packed to the brim with all the crystalline highs, growling mids, and rotund lows one would expect from a world-class vintage-style Jazzmaster.Fast-playing ’62-style Jazzmaster “C” profile The Fender Custom Shop ’59 250K Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic sports a classic early-1960s-inspired ’62 Jazzmaster “C” maple neck. A far cry from Fender’s earlier baseball-bat necks, this profile provides a fast, speedy feel, with just enough heft to hold on to when sliding up and down the flat-laminated rosewood fingerboard. Players who prefer the effortless feel of a modern instrument are sure to appreciate the neck’s 9.5-inch radius, and it’s all topped off with 21 narrow-tall frets.The offset bridge of the future Ask any offset fanatic — the “floating” bridge found on vintage Jazzmasters and Jaguars can be a tough beast to wrangle, especially if you’re a fan of light-gauge strings and low action! Luckily, the ’59 250K Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic boasts a Fender Custom Shop RSD J-Bridge for superlative stability and a much more solid feel overall. This bridge replaces the standard Jazzmaster bridge’s six saddles for two brass inserts, drastically simplifying the design for greater reliability. What’s more, many of Sweetwater’s Jazzmaster aficionados have reported that the RSD J-Bridge grants you quite a bit of extra sustain and resonance. This bridge is paired with a classic Fender “Floating Vibrato” tailpiece that supplies everything from surfy sway to shoegaze-style warble in ample abundance.Fender Custom Shop ’59 250K Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic Electric Guitar Features: Period-correct 2-piece select ash body gives you a slightly warmer and less mid-forward tone than alder-bodied Jazzmasters Sturdy rift-sawn maple neck carved into an easy-playing ’62-style Jazzmaster “C” profile Sleek flat-lam rosewood fingerboard studded with 21 narrow-tall frets in a 9.5-inch radius to ensure your bends remain clear and buzz-free Dual Custom Shop Hand-wound Jazzmaster pickups supply a bright, springy, and full-range wash of tone 250K volume and tone pots tame some of the Jazzmaster’s zingy top end, resulting in a slightly mellower response overall Traditional Jazzmaster rhythm circuit controls located on the upper horn Eye-catching gold anodized aluminum pickguard Rock-solid RSD J-Bridge for enhanced reliability, paired with a classic “Floating Vibrato” tailpiece Vintage-style Fender tuning machines make changing strings a breeze Thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish, aged to perfection by the Fender Custom Shop’s master luthiers to their Journeyman Relic specs SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Type Solidbody Body Shape Jazzmaster Body Material Ash Color Aged Dakota Red Body Finish Nitrocellulose Lacquer Neck Material Maple Neck Shape 162 Jazzmaster Neck Joint Bolt-on Radius 9.5" Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Vintage Clay Dot Number of Frets 21, Narrow Tall Scale Length 25.5" Nut Width 1.650" Nut Material Bone Bridge/Tailpiece RSD Jazzmaster Tuners Fender Vintage-style Neck Pickup Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound Jazzmaster Single-coil Bridge Pickup Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound Jazzmaster Single-coil Controls 1 x master volume, 1 x master tone, 2 x thumbwheel (neck volume, neck tone) Switching 3-way toggle pickup switch, 2-way slide switch (rhythm/lead circuit) Strings Fender 250R, .010-.046 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
