Squier 40th Anniversary Jazzmaster Gold Edition, Lake Placid Blue

Full Description

Pristine playability

This Jazzmaster is the accumulation of forty years of expert design, providing you with everything you can ask for when it comes to maximising your playing. A sleek “C” shape maple neck ensures that you have a controlling grasp of the instrument, but still provides the freedom to glide your hand across it thanks to the gloss finish. This is fronted with an Indian laurel fretboard, which delivers to you an unblemished surface to surf across with accuracy and precision. The 9.5” radius guarantees that premium Fender feel players have become accustomed to.

Sonically superb

The intricacies of the Jazzmaster allows for the creation of a fantastic collection of unique tones, delivering crisp, clear clarity hand in hand with that instantly recognisable twang. A set of Fender designed Alnico single-coils make this tonal exploration possible, accurately accentuating every aspect of your playing and emitting it with sweet dynamic sensitivity. This goes hand in hand with the classic Jazzmaster switching system that provides controls for both the Rhythm and Lead circuits, as well as a selector switch for different pickup options.

A consistent construction

Celebrating their 40th anniversary, Squier have stood the test of time, and this is owed to their impeccably crafted instruments, of which this Jazzmaster is no exception. Built from a poplar body, the natural sound of the instrument is incredible, infusing the guitar with incredible resonance and a brilliant coverage of every frequency. This is partnered with some beautiful hardware, such as a six-saddle vintage style bridge and tuning machines, you can be assured of your strings stability throughout your performance.
