FACTOIDS & TRIVIA

The Fender Custom Shop is known for making some pretty unique guitars, but can also produce dead-accurate vintage reissues, too. While not dead-accurate, this Custom Shop reissue of an early 1959 Jazzmaster is pretty much all there except for the Tele knobs and 9.5" fretboard radius. Even the pickups are wound hotter as the originals were.
