Fender Custom Shop Jazzmaster '62 Masterbuilt Andy Hicks Electric Guitar, Relic, Aged Lake Placid Blue Finish, Rosewood Fretboard. Serial Number: AH0155.
As a flagship of Fender's production, Custom Shop instruments are guitars and basses crafted to the highest quality standards, from wood selection to pickup winding, finishing, and hardware manufacture. The result is highly reliable instruments with an unmistakable sound, offering exceptional playability.
The Fender Custom Shop Jazzmaster '62 Masterbuilt Andy Hicks eliminates the need to search for a vintage version of this type of guitar. Unlike other more standardized models, this guitar is the result of meticulous artisanal craftsmanship, where every detail has been designed to provide a unique playing experience crafted by a single artisan. He was confident in his approach, and rightly so.
The roasted alder body, paired with a flamed maple neck, endows this instrument with a rich and complex tone, featuring a more precise attack and longer sustain than typically found on Jazzmaster guitars. The '62 Jazzmaster neck profile, combined with the AAA rosewood fretboard and a 7.25" radius, offers exceptional playability, ideal for players seeking versatility.
Compared to other Jazzmaster models, this Masterbuilt stands out for its attention to detail that goes far beyond aesthetics. Andy Hicks's craftsmanship is palpable: every curve, every finish, and every setup reflects unparalleled artisanal skill. The choice of roasted alder, for instance, gives the guitar a denser and more mature tone, while enhancing its stability against humidity variations.
The Handwound Jazzmaster Flat Mag pickups, developed specifically for this model, provide an incredibly rich tonal palette, ranging from crystal-clear cleans to biting overdrives. They deliver superior dynamics and articulation compared to standard pickups, allowing the guitar to express itself across all musical genres. Paired with a Fender amp, it produces a clear and bright sound, perfect for surf rock or jazz. However, it is when connected to a Marshall amp that it reveals its full potential, delivering a warm and saturated tone, ideal for rock or blues.
If you're a fuzz enthusiast, this Jazzmaster is for you. The Flat Mag pickups respond beautifully to fuzz pedals, offering infinite sustain and rich harmonics. You can explore a multitude of sounds, from light and crystalline fuzz to thick and saturated tones. We invite you to come try this exceptional guitar in-store to experience how it surpasses standards in terms of build quality, sonic richness, and playability.
