The Fender Custom Shop '62 Jazzmaster Journeyman is a musical journey that begins with the hand wound custom shop single coil pickups attached to the Jazzmaster body. These premium grade pieces of equipment create a heavenly sound that is sent straight from the gods and into your set-up. You can find vintage, rounded and incredibly warm tones on the neck pickup that are ideal for softer styles of playing as they are drenched in a tonal warmth that is reminiscent of those classic jazz and blues styles. On the bridge you can find a brighter attack with enhanced clarity alongside a delicious brightness that is helped on by the maple neck.
Quality tonewoods
The Fender Custom Shop '62 Jazzmaster Journeyman is built using carefully selected, industry standard tonewoods, this instrument provides a glorious natural sound. Every element of a Custom Shop guitar is carefully selected to ensure playing perfection - and the wood used to build the guitar is one of the most important ingredients in the recipe. It features a two-piece offset seam alder body that holds a magnificent resonance as well as guaranteeing a tonal warmth that excels in the mid-range, at both high and low outputs.
The neck is made from rift sawn maple, delivering a sturdy performance that will withstand even the most intense sessions. It also brings a clarity and brightness to the tone that thrives with a high-end sparkle, perfect for those lead and solo parts. The fingerboard is built using rosewood, which provides a supremely comfortable playing feel that softens the sound and delivers a balanced performance.
Built by the best
The Fender Custom Shop '62 Jazzmaster Journeyman is like any other Fender Custom Shop instrument - built with passion, care and attention to detail. Complete with an RSD bridge that supports the tremolo arm, you'll be sure to find a stable and reliable tuning no matter how much you play. What's more, the bridge works with the bone nut and vintage style tuning pegs to retain a comfortable action over the fretboard, ensuring minimal strain when playing so you can rock on right through the night.
The vintage clay dot inlays complement the sunburst finish and brown shell pickguard beautifully, contributing to a natural aesthetic that has stayed in style since this guitar was first released in the '50s - and doesn't intend on falling out of fashion any time soon. You can re-shape your tone using the master volume and master tone knobs, as well as the three-way pickup selector to help find and re-find your own voice every time you plug in and play. No matter what stage or studio setting you place this guitar, it is going to look and sound truly fantastic, offering a one-of-a-kind playing experience that will reward you with tonal development over time and multiple uses.
