Fender Announces Three New 60th Anniversary Jazzmaster Limited Edition Guitars
Fender is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its iconic Jazzmaster guitar with three new limited edition models: the 60th Anniversary ’58, Classic and Triple Jazzmaster guitars.
Fender Limited Edition 60th Anniversary ’58 Jazzmaster ($2,299.99) (pictured above)
An homage to the original prototype of the guitar, the 60th Anniversary ‘58 Jazzmaster accurately recreates the look and feel of the original 1958 prototype, which had an offset waist, distinctive-sounding pickups, a flexible rhythm/lead circuit and was the first Fender guitar to sport a rosewood fingerboard. The Limited Edition 60th Anniversary ’58 Jazzmaster is offered in 2-Color Sunburst.
Fender Limited Edition 60th Anniversary Triple Jazzmaster ($1,999.99)
The Triple Jazzmaster features a modern, triple-pickup and is an homage to the mod ethos. The guitar also features brand-new humbucking pickups from pickup guru Tim Shaw, and is offered in Daphne Blue.
Fender Limited Edition 60th Anniversary Classic Jazzmaster ($1,199.99)
