Player's Perspective

Here's another awesome signature guitar from our friends at Fender - this fantastic Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster! Offsets have a special place in our hearts here at the shop, especially ones as cool as this.

Van Leeuwen (of QOTSA fame) spec'd out his signature Jazzmaster with some totally awesome features. First off, the Copper Age custom color finish is one of the coolest metallic finishes Fender has ever put out, and it looks simply incredible on the JM shape and is accented nicely with the tortoise pickguard. The contrast is simply gorgeous to look at in person - and that's before bringing in the bound maple fretboard with black block inlays, which is an unusual feature for a Jazzmaster, and the slick matching headstock. Aesthetically the whole package is both beautiful as well as distinct.

Tonally and playability-wise, this guitar absolutely rips. It features the renowned Pure Vintage '65 Jazzmaster set, which are personally our favorite production Jazzmaster pickups that Fender offers. They just have all the chime, growl and sparkle a proper Jazzy should. We also love the other enhancements Van Leeuwen requested like the convenient toggle switch for the rhythm circuit and the Mustang bridge.

If you're looking for a unique Jazzmaster, are a QOTSA fan or just want to try something a little different, this TVL sig is a must-try!
