For Sale: 2023 Fender MIJ Japan FSR Collection Hybrid II Jazzmaster – Walnut w/ Original Gig Bag

Up for sale is a 2023 Fender MIJ Japan FSR Collection Hybrid II Jazzmaster in Walnut, complete with its original gig bag.

This is a very cool limited-edition Fender Japan model with a sharp, upscale look and a more modern Jazzmaster spec set. Finished in Walnut with a matching headstock and tortoiseshell pickguard, it has a distinctive appearance that stands out from standard production Jazzmasters. As part of the Hybrid II series, this model blends classic offset styling with player-friendly updates, making it an especially appealing choice for someone who wants traditional Fender character with a more refined modern feel.

Condition

This guitar is in excellent condition and I would rate it a solid 9.5/10. It shows only light scratches from very light use. The guitar still has the protective plastic on the pickguard. Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition.

There are no cracks, breaks, or repairs. The neck is straight, the frets are in excellent condition, and the guitar plays cleanly up and down the neck with no buzzing or dead spots. It has also been recently professionally set up and is ready to go.

The original gig bag is included.

Electronics & Features

One of the standout aspects of this model is the way it combines the Jazzmaster platform with a more modern and versatile spec package. The Hybrid II Custom Voiced pickups offer a cleaner, more focused response than a more traditional vintage Jazzmaster setup, and the upgraded bridge and locking tuners make the guitar especially practical for players who want better tuning stability and everyday reliability.

The Walnut finish and matching headstock are also a big part of the appeal. Along with the tortoiseshell guard, they give the guitar a very classy and distinctive look that feels more limited and special than a standard production model.

Tone & Feel

This guitar has the wide, articulate, and expressive sound that makes a Jazzmaster so appealing, but with a slightly tighter and more focused overall response. It works beautifully for clean playing, indie, rock, pop, ambient textures, and more driven sounds where note separation still matters.

The Modern C neck feels comfortable and easy in the hand, and the 9.5" radius with narrow tall frets gives the guitar a smooth, modern feel without losing its Fender identity. At 7 lbs 14 oz, it has a nice balanced weight and feels great in hand.
