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\n\u003c\/div\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\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 9237101469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/b\u003e R122365\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 7 lbs 13 oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e 2 Piece Alder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Nitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSort for Lightweight:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Adjustable Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e Reissue Serial Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner Keys:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Fender Logo Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e 10-46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 62 Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Tint Nitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple Rift Sawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadstock:\u003c\/b\u003e Painted Headcap\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e AAA Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/b\u003e Early 60's\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Head Thickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.590\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Scoop:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDot Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e Wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFace Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta Clay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta Clay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFret Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Vintage\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 Tapered \"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-Bolt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Cap Decal:\u003c\/b\u003e '62 Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-Ply Parchment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck:\u003c\/b\u003e Handwound Jazzmaster \"Chicago Special\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Handwound Jazzmaster \"Chicago Special\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePots:\u003c\/b\u003e 250k 10% Taper Split\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39857147281543,"sku":"9237101469-R122365","price":3818.0,"currency_code":"GBP","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-chicago-special-relic-aged-black-w-gold-hardware-painted-headcap-9237101469-r122365-29165448593543.jpg?v=1649710761","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1962-jazzmaster-chicago-special-1214638","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
