Electronics & Features

This model stays true to the traditional Jazzmaster design with the full rhythm/lead circuit, giving you a wide range of tonal options from warm and mellow to bright and cutting.

The standout feature here is the Competition Black / Sunburst finish — a unique visual that gives this guitar a custom, almost one-off feel. It’s a rare look for a Jazzmaster and really sets this one apart from standard production models.

Tone & Feel

This guitar delivers classic Jazzmaster tone — wide, open, and articulate with rich lows, smooth mids, and clear, glassy highs. The vintage-style pickups capture that unmistakable offset character.

The “U” shape neck has a comfortable, slightly fuller feel, while the 9.5" radius makes it easier to play than vintage-spec 7.25" models — a great balance of old-school vibe and modern usability.
