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\u003cbr\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\u003ePart Number: \u003c\/b\u003e9237100414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial Number: \u003c\/b\u003eR103552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e Journeyman Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Fender Custom Shop Jag\/JM Brown Exterior\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e7lbs 13.9oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Roasted Alder, 2-Piece\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Natural\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Nitro Lacquer Topcoat, WLS Undercoat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSort for Lightweight Body:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlating: \u003c\/b\u003eChrome\/Nickel Hardware\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Adjustable Jag\/JM Bridge Assembly Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e R Serial Vintage Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner Keys: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage w\/Fender Logo Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFactory String Gauge: \u003c\/b\u003e10-46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 62 Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eNitro Lacquer, Medium Tint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple Roasted Rift Sawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRound\/Flat Lam: \u003c\/b\u003eFlat Lam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard: \u003c\/b\u003eRosewood AAA 9mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSort for Dark Rosewood: \u003c\/b\u003eYes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod: \u003c\/b\u003e17.563 x .875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Large\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Head Thickness:\u003c\/b\u003e .590\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Scoop:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDot Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e Wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Clay Dots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Clay Dots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFret Wire: \u003c\/b\u003e50085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius: \u003c\/b\u003e7.25\" Radius\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Back Shape: \u003c\/b\u003e'59 Tapered \"C\" Neck Shape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Nut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.650\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness:\u003c\/b\u003e .790-.970\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNett Butt Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.200\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material: \u003c\/b\u003eBone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Bolts:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 Bolt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard: \u003c\/b\u003e3-Ply Mint Green Nitro Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck:\u003c\/b\u003e \"Chicago Special\" Jazzmaster Neck Pickup\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge: \u003c\/b\u003e\"Chicago Special\" Jazzmaster Bridge Pickup\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePotentiometers:\u003c\/b\u003e 250K\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Covers:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged White","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34302143791239,"sku":"9237100414-R103552","price":5629.0,"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-1962-jazzmaster-roasted-chicago-special-journeyman-relic-natural-w-roasted-alder-body-roasted-maple-neck-9237100414-r103552-17220_2c5d43ed-8373-4481-aea0-95cb53762e45.jpg?v=1646728157","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-ca\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1962-jazzmaster-roasted-chicago-727445","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
