Description
This Limited Edition Classic Vibe '60s Jazzmaster is a solid pick for intermediate players or anyone chasing classic offset tones with a unique visual twist. The Competition Burgandy finish isn't your everyday color-it's an iridescent blue with a subtle burgundy hue depending on the light, dressed up with three light blue racing stripes across the forearm cut. It really grabs attention without going over the top, and it's a nod to vintage Fender styling that offset fans will appreciate.
Sonically, you're getting everything you'd expect from a Jazzmaster. The Fender-designed alnico single-coils have that wide, chimey clarity this model is known for, and the rhythm/lead circuit layout gives you separate tone and volume control paths, which is great if you like to dial in different sounds for clean versus gain. A non-locking floating vibrato and barrel saddle bridge keep things vintage-feeling and expressive while maintaining good tuning stability.
The neck has a slim "C" profile and a 9.5" radius Indian laurel fingerboard, which makes it a breeze to play whether you're comping chords or navigating leads. It's comfortable, solidly built, and very much in the Jazzmaster camp tone-wise-no shortcuts taken. We think this one really nails the balance of character, quality, and price; it's not just a looker, it's a full-fledged workhorse with a lot of vintage charm.
