Body and Neck A four-screw bolt-on neck connects the Poplar body and Maple neck – a relatively lightweight yet sturdy combination. You’ll feel right at home on the C-shaped neck profile with an easy playing 9.5” radius. Extremely comfortable for the fretting hand and great for chords. The Indian Laurel fingerboard evokes true classic vibes and feels smooth underneath the tall and narrow frets. These are a real throwback to mid-twentieth century guitars, unlike most modern variants equipped with jumbo frets. Sound Jazzmasters usually favour soapbar pickups, and the Classic Vibe is no different. The Fender-designed sing coils produce an old-school growl great for rock, indie or blues. The neck pickup is fat yet has plenty of bite and sounds excellent for clean rhythm. While the bridge pickup provides a more aggressive tone. Hardware The Jazzmaster utilises a classic floating bridge system for strong bends or smooth tremolo effects. You can get truly creative with your playing. It also features a 1960s inspired large headstock, nickel-plated hardware and a tinted gloss neck finish to get you in the swinging sixties mood.
