Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilverburst is considerably less conventional on a Jazzmaster than Sunburst or traditional Fender custom colours, giving this example a strong individual visual

Its offset-waist body, floating tremolo and unusual electronics represented a significant departure from Fender’s earlier solid-body designs.

The \u003cstrong\u003e1962 specification has remained particularly significant in Fender history\u003c\/strong\u003e: when Fender Japan revived the Jazzmaster in 1986, it chose a vintage-style 1962 reissue as the basis for the returning model. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fender Custom Shop approach takes that historical foundation and allows individual specifications to move beyond strict reproduction.

The flatter 9.5\" surface gives strings more room during larger bends, while still retaining a recognisably traditional Fender feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the cracked lacquer damage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aged lacquer appearance forms part of the supplied Closet Classic specification of this guitar. Fender confirms that Closet Classic Custom Shop instruments use thin-skin nitrocellulose lacquer intended for an aged presentation. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a Jazzmaster good for fuzz pedals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Jazzmasters have become particularly closely associated with fuzz, distortion and effects-heavy alternative styles because their broad single-coil response provides plenty of detail for complex processed sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Jazzmaster tremolo work like a Stratocaster tremolo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Jazzmaster uses a different floating vibrato design mounted behind the bridge, producing a smoother style of pitch movement that is particularly useful for subtle chord vibrato.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used with modern amp modellers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Its passive output works with conventional valve amplifiers, analogue pedalboards, profiling equipment and digital modelling systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I request a closer look before purchasing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Our \u003cstrong\u003eRequest a Video Demo\u003c\/strong\u003e option is particularly useful for an individual Custom Shop guitar because it allows you to examine the Silverburst finish, lacquer ageing and overall condition more closely before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"USED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57311962497404,"sku":"Fender Custom Shop ’62 Jazzmaster Closet Classic Silverburst, (Used)","price":2799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/6457\/9484\/files\/DSC09690_bf1a6bed-ad46-46ae-9846-c97735f5fa1a.jpg?v=1786976991","url":"https:\/\/www.fairdealmusic.co.uk\/products\/fender-custom-shop-62-jazzmaster-closet-classic-silverburst-used","provider":"Fair Deal Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
