Squier 40th Anniversary Jazzmaster Vintage Edition

Sonically Superb

The intricacies of the Jazzmaster allows for the creation of a fantastic collection of unique tones, delivering crisp, clear clarity hand in hand with that instantly recognisable twang. A set of Fender designed Alnico single-coils make this tonal exploration possible, accurately accentuating every aspect of your playing and emitting it with sweet dynamic sensitivity. This goes hand in hand with the classic Jazzmaster switching system that provides controls for both the Rhythm and Lead circuits as well as a selector switch for different pickup options.

Pristine playability

A sleek “C” shape maple neck ensures that you have a controlling grasp of the instrument, but still provides the freedom to glide your hand across it thanks to its smooth finish. This is fronted with a delightful maple fretboard, which delivers to you an unblemished surface to surf across with accuracy and precision. The 9.5” radius guarantees that premium Fender feel players have become accustomed to.
