{"product_id":"fender-custom-shop-1959-jazzmaster-chicago-special-973551","title":"Fender Custom Shop 1959 Jazzmaster \"Chicago Special\" Journeyman Relic Aged Black","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\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 9237100272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/b\u003e R104905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish Package: \u003c\/b\u003eJourneyman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase: \u003c\/b\u003eFender Custom Shop Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 8lbs 3oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eAlder 2-Piece\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Color: \u003c\/b\u003eAged Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSort for Light Weight: \u003c\/b\u003eYes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eNitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Chrome\/Nickel, Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Adjustable Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e R Serial Vintage\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\u003e62 Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eMedium Tint Nitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple Rift Sawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosewood 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\u003eSmall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Head Thickness: \u003c\/b\u003e0.590\"\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\u003eVintage Clay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Dot: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage Clay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFret Wire: \u003c\/b\u003eJescar FW50085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e21\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\u003e2.200\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material: \u003c\/b\u003eBone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Bolts: \u003c\/b\u003e4 Bolt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Cap Decal:\u003c\/b\u003e 58-62 Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e Gold Anodized Relic\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\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/b\u003e White Toggle Switch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePots:\u003c\/b\u003e 250k","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34606228013191,"sku":"9237100272-R104905","price":71506.0,"currency_code":"MXN","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-relic-aged-black-9237100272-r104905-17451389583495.jpg?v=1649615897","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-mx\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1959-jazzmaster-chicago-special-973551","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
