color sunburst, Alder body, white pickup covers, and a set of white Strat knobs – a very different look! We wanted to make the ’58, the first Jazzmaster anyone had ever seen but no one could ever actually buy. Well, now you can buy it, and that’s what the ‘58 is. It has vintage style pickups, a nitrocellulose lacquer, two-tone finish, maple neck with a 7.25 radius rosewood fingerboard, 21 ‘vintage tall’ frets so it’s easy to play, and vintage style trim with the cool hemlock button just like in 1958.

It’s got a bound modern C-shaped neck, 9.5” radius fingerboard, big pearloid blocks on the fingerboard, and a matching head cap in all of these great vintage colors. It doesn’t get any classier than that. So, we see our job is not just to bring standard saw, but not the first Jazzmaster that you could issue guitars, but also to bring spectacular buy from a dealer.
