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!\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Chicago Special\" Jazzmaster® pickups\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\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\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 9237101472\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/b\u003e R121974\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e Journeyman\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Fender Custom Shop Brown Tolex\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e --- PUT WEIGHT HERE ---\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e 2-Piece Bass Alder\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged Black\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged Black\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Journeyman\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSort for Lightweight:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Chrome\/Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Adjustable Jazzmaster Relic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e Reissue Serial Vintage Relic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eTuner Keys:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage with Fender Logo Relic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e 10-46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 62 Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Tint Nitro Lacquer with Matching Headstock\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple Rift Sawn\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/b\u003e Early 60's\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Head Thickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.590\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Scoop:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eDot Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e White Poly Pearloid\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFace Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Special Block\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSide Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta 3\/32\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFret Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 21\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.25\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Back Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e '60s Style Oval \"C\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Nut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.650\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .790\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .930\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Butt Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.200\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Bone\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNumber of Bolts:\u003c\/b\u003e 4-Bolt\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eHead Cap Decal:\u003c\/b\u003e 65 Jazzmaster\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e Mother of Pearl Black Inlays\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e Tortoise \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck:\u003c\/b\u003e Handwound \"Chicago Special\" Neck Relic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Handwound \"Chicago Special\" Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/b\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003ePots:\u003c\/b\u003e 250k 10% Audio Metal","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39806435131527,"sku":"9237101472-R121974","price":90978.0,"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-1966-jazzmaster-chicago-special-journeyman-aged-black-w-tortoise-pickguard-painted-headcap-9237101472-r121974-29080559583367.jpg?v=1646774244","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-mx\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1966-jazzmaster-chicago-special-1214641","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
