The History of the Jazzmaster
First introduced at the 1958 NAMM Show with a great deal of chrome
and controls, the Jazzmaster was originally designed for traditional
jazz musicians. However, it soon found itself embraced by
reverb-drenched surf guitarists in the '60s, lip-curling punks in the
'70s and legions of alt-indie from the late '80s onwards. Fender's first
dual-circuit instrument, the Jazzmaster provided a new level of
versatility while the traditional wide and flat pickups produced a broad
tonality with less bite and a subtler attack than most single-coil
pickups. A first choice among players worldwide, there is nothing that
can come close to the natural comfort remarkable tonal versatility and
character the Jazzmaster guitar offers.
