Fender Jazzmaster

The Fender Jazzmaster is uniquely styled, synonymous with alternative rock and shoegaze. For those that like to step outside the conventional norms of traditional electric guitar designs, the Jazzmaster's floating-point tremolo and offset body makes it a truly special instrument.

First introduced in 1958, the Jazzmaster was the first guitar with an "offset-waist" body made by Fender, but despite its name, it didn't become popular with Jazz players. It perhaps looked too futuristic and wasn't as straightforward as the guitars Jazz musicians were used to play, with its innovative bridge, "soapbar" pickups and new dual-circuit. However, the Jazzmaster was quickly adopted by some surf-rock bands like The Ventures, and even The Beach Boys.

In addition to its appreciation in the Surf Rock scene, the Fender Jazzmaster has become somewhat of a favourite of Grunge and Indie musicians thanks to its unique look and instantly recognisable sound from its pickups. The addition of extra controls such as the unusual "roller" thumbwheel controls and slide switch offer players greater control over their sound – something that Shoegaze and Indie players really enjoy.
