{"product_id":"fender-custom-shop-1959-jazzmaster-chicago-special-1313097","title":"Fender Custom Shop 1959 Jazzmaster \"Chicago Special\" Journeyman Aged Ebony Transparent","description":"Our goal with our Custom Shop Jazzmasters was to make the absolute best sounding and playing JMs out there. Seems pretty simple right? Combining a mix of vintage specs, and modern mods we think you’ll agree that we hit the mark. From 1959 to 1966, our “Chicago Special” Jazzmasters have a 7.25” radius, a slab rosewood fretboard, and a rift sawn maple neck. The magic really happens under the guard with the combination of a 250k volume pot and our Chicago Specials. Based on a set of 1961 Jazzmaster pickups, George Bland helped us craft our set to have higher output in the neck position than the bridge. The bridge pickup is slightly overwound giving it a smooth and round presence, while the neck pickup is moderately overwound giving it a huge bottom end with with round highs. Both Alnico 5 pickups are potted in shellac to give them a wide and open dynamic range, and wound with 42 gauge enamel wire. When you put everything together, you get the most balanced Jazzmaster on the market!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Chicago Special\" Jazzmaster pickups\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom set modeled after CME's favorite 1961 Jazzmater AlNiCo 5 magnets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42 gauge enamel wire for round highs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotted in shellac for open wide range frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRIDGE: Slightly overwound for high end punch but still still smooth and round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK: Moderately overwound for huge bottom end but with clear, round highs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 9237101213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/b\u003e R120147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Fender Custom Shop Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 8lbs 1oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Alder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged Ebony Transparent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSort for Lightweight:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Adjustable Jag\/Jazz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e R Serial Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner Keys:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage w\/Fender Logo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e .010-.046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Tint Nitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Rift Sawn Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e AAA Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSort for Dark Rosewood?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/b\u003e Early 60s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Small\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Head Thickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.590\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDot Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e Wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFace Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Clay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Clay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFret Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Vintage Jescar 47095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.25\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Back Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e 59 Esquire \"C\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Nut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.650\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .790\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .970\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Butt Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.200\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Bolts:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Cap Decal:\u003c\/b\u003e 62 Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy Relic Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e Anodized Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-Wound \"Chicago Special\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-Wound \"Chicago Special\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitch Knobs:\u003c\/b\u003e Amber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePots:\u003c\/b\u003e 250K","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40014076838023,"sku":"9237101213-R120147","price":5485.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/fender-electric-guitars-solid-body-fender-custom-shop-1959-jazzmaster-chicago-special-journeyman-rosewood-aged-ebony-transparent-serial-r120147-9237101213-r120147-29452442173575.jpg?v=1659553145","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-ca\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1959-jazzmaster-chicago-special-1313097","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
