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\u003e 9237100280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial Number: \u003c\/b\u003eR114329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e Journeyman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase: \u003c\/b\u003eFender Custom Shop Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7lbs 13.7oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eAlder 2-Piece\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged Olympic White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSort for Light Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Nitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating: \u003c\/b\u003eChrome\/Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly: \u003c\/b\u003eAdjustable Jazzmaster Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e R Serial Vintage Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner Keys: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage with Fender Logo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Gauge: \u003c\/b\u003e.010 - .046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 62 Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Tint Nitro Lacquer w\/Painted Head Cap\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple Rift Sawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRound\/Flat Lam:\u003c\/b\u003e Round 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\u003e 17.563 x .875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Large\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Head Thickness: \u003c\/b\u003e0.590\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Scoop: \u003c\/b\u003e60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Pearloid Blocks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta White 3\/32\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInlays:\u003c\/b\u003e Pearloid Blocks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFret Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Jescar FW50085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius: \u003c\/b\u003e7.25\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eWhite Vinyl .060 X .28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Back Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e 60 Style Oval \"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.930\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Butt Width: \u003c\/b\u003e2.200\"\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\u003eNeck Notes: \u003c\/b\u003eMatching Painted Head Cap\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e Jazzmaster 3-Ply Parchment Nitro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck: \u003c\/b\u003e\"Chicago Special\" Jazzmaster Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge: \u003c\/b\u003e\"Chicago Special\" Jazzmaster Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Covers:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Ivory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKnobs: \u003c\/b\u003eWitch Hat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolume Pot: \u003c\/b\u003e250k\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTone Pot:\u003c\/b\u003e 1meg","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39513182077063,"sku":"9237100280-R114329","price":3453.0,"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-1966-jazzmaster-chicago-special-journeyman-aged-olympic-white-w-painted-headcap-9237100280-r114329-28429864403079.jpg?v=1649206568","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1966-jazzmaster-chicago-special-1108322","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
