Fender Custom Shop '62 Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic Electric Guitar, Olympic White

Fresh from the mythical Californian workshop comes this Fender Custom Shop ’62 Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic in an icy Olympic White. Matching this fresh shade with Fender Custom Shop’s Journeyman Relic finish treatment results in a gently loved, cool and creamy aesthetic with the implied legacy of travel and performance. This Jazzmaster captures a lineage of Fender charm and character with fine Custom Shop craftsmanship.

This Fender Custom Shop ’62 Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic starts with a two-piece Custom Shop 22” bass alder body. The classic offset double cutaway body features instantly identifiable contours and feels authentically jazzy. This particular cut of alder bears a Custom Shop Journeyman Relic finish treatment with tangible age and character across the lacquer.

The doublecut alder meets up with a plain grain maple neck shaped in a 62 Jazzmaster profile. Across the back of the neck, a satin lacquer finish can be felt for a unique feel from higher to lower registers. The plain grain maple of the neck is matched with a 9mm AAA rosewood fingerboard bearing twenty-one frets. Unique to this Jazzmaster is its 45085 Vintage Upgrade fret wire that punctuates each fret with a taller height for an articulate playing experience across the fingers. Measuring with a radius of 7.25”, the rosewood board plays with a tight, vintage-style feel. Micarta White .250 face dots highlight the dark rosewood while 3/32” Micarta White side dots match. This Fender Custom Shop is topped with a Regular Jazzmaster headstock with Vintage Style tuning machines and a 62 Jazzmaster logo decal. Totally, the neck measures .820” thick at the first fret and .900” at the twelfth fret.

Audibly, this Custom Shop Jazzmaster comes alive with the integration of two Jazzmaster flat magnet single-coil pickups. Summoning a spectrum of cool, single-coil tones historically associated with the offset, this Jazzmaster plays with great Fender tonality. The tone of this Jazzmaster is enhanced by a number of fine hardware appointments for intonation and playability. An adjustable Jaguar/Jazzmaster bridge drops in on the body with a Relic finish treatment for familiar Jazzmaster playability while a 1.650” bone nut grounds strings for steady intonation and easy stringing. This Jazzmaster ships with a Fender Custom Shop Jaguar/Jazzmaster Brown hardshell case.

Encapsulating so much of what makes the Jazzmaster a classic while operating on an elite level of function and playability, this Fender Custom Shop piece lands as effortlessly cool and endlessly exciting.
