Fender J Mascis Jazzmaster® Electric Guitar

J Mascis Jazzmaster® Electric Guitar description:

To honor the sonic legacy of alt/indie rock founding father J Mascis, Fender is supremely psyched to unveil the sparkling-new Fender J Mascis Jazzmaster guitar.

The Fender J Mascis Jazzmaster signature model pays affectionately ear-splitting homage to Mascis, giving the instrument a modern makeover for fans who’ve been clamoring for such a model for years. Mascis took the instrument to a new place with his feedback-drenched, distortion-laden band, Dinosaur Jr.

With its stunning and unusual Purple Sparkle polyester finish, matching headcap and gold anodized pickguard, the Fender J Mascis Jazzmaster guitar features mods requested by Mascis himself—including an Adjusto-Matic bridge, reinforced tremolo arm housing and a satin-finished neck.

The Dinosaur roar comes from dual vintage reissue pickups and the barrage of controls the Jazzmaster has always been known for—a three-position toggle switch with volume and tone knobs and, for this model, a two-position slide switch with volume and tone controls configured as a “lead tone circuit” (up) and a “rhythm tone circuit” (down).

The J Mascis Jazzmaster is literally a sparkling new addition to the Fender lineup, in celebration of the adventurous and continuing sonic contributions of the man who has been the model’s constant champion for nearly 25 years now.
