From the hallowed halls of the Fender Custom Shop, there emerges yet another fearsome creation from the 2019 Collection: the Vintage Custom 1958 Jazzmaster. As its name implies, this jammin' Jazzmaster is the answer to a historical hypothetical: what would it look like if someone had ordered a super-sweet custom Jazzmaster with a maple fingerboard in 1958? Since all fifties Jazzmasters had rosewood boards, this NOS recreation is a fun example of what could have been!
Sonically, the maple fingerboard does interesting things to the Jazzmaster. Because of the geometry of the bridge, Jazzmasters have a supremely articulate attack. A maple fingerboard is a bit snappier and more percussive than its rosewood counterpart. So, this guitar has bit more bite on the front end of the note. Though funk and soul-inclined players will especially dig this feature, players of all genres will enjoy this newfound flavor of Fender tone.
After the inital attack, the handwound flatpole Jazzmaster single-coils capture plenty of blooming overtones. The bridge pickup is chime-y with plenty of midrange snarl, and its lush high-end is something to behold. It's well-suited for everything from jangly indie rock, Niles Rodgers-esque funk, tight rock rhythms, and even twangy country. By contrast, the neck pickup exhibits a warm, clear, woody voice perfect for everything from mellow jazz to thick, fuzzy riffage.
