For Sale: 2023 Fender Japan MIJ Traditional '60s Jazzmaster Olympic White w/ Gig Bag

Up for sale is a 2023 Fender Made in Japan Traditional '60s Jazzmaster in classic Olympic White, complete with a gig bag.

The Fender Japan Traditional Series has earned an excellent reputation for combining vintage-inspired Fender styling with the consistently impressive craftsmanship of Japanese production. This Jazzmaster captures the unmistakable look, sound, and feel of Fender's legendary offset while incorporating a player-friendly 9.5" fingerboard radius that makes it a little easier to live with than a strictly vintage-spec instrument.

Electronics & Features

The Traditional '60s Jazzmaster retains the features that have made the original design such an enduring favorite.

Its pair of vintage-style Jazzmaster single-coils deliver the broad, open sound that separates a Jazzmaster from more conventional Fender designs. Clean tones have excellent clarity and harmonic complexity, while chords remain full and articulate even with effects or overdrive.

The traditional dual-circuit electronics add another layer of versatility. The lead circuit provides the familiar open and articulate Jazzmaster voice, while the separate rhythm circuit offers a darker, warmer sound using the neck pickup.

The vintage-style floating tremolo is another essential part of the Jazzmaster experience, providing the smooth and subtle pitch movement that has helped make these guitars favorites among surf, indie, alternative, shoegaze, jazz, and rock players.

One particularly useful feature of this Made in Japan Traditional model is its 9.5" fingerboard radius. It maintains the classic appearance and character of a vintage-inspired Jazzmaster while providing a slightly flatter playing surface that makes string bending and modern playing techniques more comfortable.

Tone & Feel

This guitar delivers everything players want from a great Jazzmaster.

The original pickups produce shimmering cleans, rich harmonic overtones, and excellent note separation, while the floating tremolo allows for smooth, expressive vibrato without overpowering the fundamental character of the guitar.

The U-shaped maple neck has a comfortable, substantial feel without being excessively large. Combined with the rosewood fingerboard and 9.5" radius, it offers an excellent balance between traditional Fender character and modern playability.

At 8 lbs 2 oz, the guitar feels solid and nicely balanced whether sitting or standing.
