A true flagship of Fender's production, the Custom Shop range offers guitars and basses crafted to the highest standards, from wood selection to hand-wound pickups, from finishes to hardware manufacturing. The result is highly reliable instruments with an inimitable sound, offering great playing comfort.
We had the chance to get our hands on this Fender CS Jazzmaster '59 JRN Relic RW 3TSB, and what an experience it was! From the first glance, we were struck by the beauty of its 3-Tone Sunburst Journeyman Relic finish. Every scratch, dent, and patina tells a story of a guitar that has been played and cherished. The ash body, with its visible grain, resonates with raw energy that flows straight into the strings.
The neck, a real treat for the fingers, fits perfectly in hand. The '62-style Jazzmaster profile offers unparalleled comfort, and the rosewood fingerboard, with its 9.5" radius, is ideal for bends and complex chords. The narrow tall frets provide surgical precision, while the bone nut enhances clarity and brightness. It feels like you're playing an instrument made just for you.
But it's when you plug it in that the full potential of this guitar is revealed. The Custom Shop hand-wound '62 Jazzmaster pickups deliver a warm and velvety tone, with crystalline highs and deep bass. The 250K pots offer an incredibly rich tonal palette, from sparkling cleans to gritty overdrives. And the vibrato, smooth and precise, is perfect for subtle tremolos or radical dive bombs.
We spent hours exploring every possibility this guitar has to offer, and each time was a new discovery. Whether you're playing surf rock, jazz, or rockabilly, this Jazzmaster handles it all effortlessly. It has that unique ability to transport you to another world, making you feel the music deeply and wanting to play on and on.
