Seems pretty simple right? Combining a mix of vintage specs, and modern mods we think you’ll agree that me hit the mark. Our 1970 “Chicago Special” Jazzmaster has a 7.25” radius, 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 Blanda 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb style=\"\" sans helvetica sans-serif\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Chicago Special\" Jazzmaster® pickups\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"\"\u003eCustom set modeled after CME's favorite 1961 Jazzmater AlNiCo 5 magnets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"\"\u003e42 gauge enamel wire for round highs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"\"\u003ePotted in shellac for open wide range frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"\"\u003eBRIDGE: Slightly overwound for high end punch but still still smooth and round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"\"\u003eNECK: Moderately overwound for huge bottom end but with clear, round highs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOS (New Old Stock)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\" sans helvetica sans-serif\u003eNOS (New Old Stock) is built without any relic or wear at all. For vintage-inspired instruments, it feels as if you went back in time and bought it new in the golden-era. Most are finished with nitrocellulose lacquer and in those instances you should expect the finish to age similarly to their vintage counterparts. However, some modern-era Custom Shop creations in NOS are finished in polyurethane, which is far more durable and will likely remain glossy and lustrous for decades to come with proper care.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43060317028487,"sku":"9232002402-R146544","price":5975.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/fender-electric-guitars-solid-body-fender-custom-shop-1970-jazzmaster-chicago-special-nos-fluorescent-orange-fender-custom-shop-1970-jazzmaster-chicago-special-nos-fluorescent-orange-9232002402-r146544-1186145376.jpg?v=1768230999","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1970-jazzmaster-chicago-special-2187230","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
