Description

At the forefront of alternative and hard rock since the early ’90s, Troy Van Leeuwen has crafted some of the heaviest tones of the last thirty years. With him every step of the way has been the Fender Jazzmaster. Van Leeuwen’s custom Artist Jazzmaster features an incredible, dark Oxblood finish with matching headstock, custom switching, dual American Vintage ’65 pickups, and a maple neck with “C” profile and 7.5″-radius bound rosewood fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets. Additional components like a mismatched Mustang bridge and Jazzmaster tailpiece set and vintage-style heel truss rod adjustment round out this thoroughly customized Jazzmaster to create a special machine that rips ’90s tone just as easily is it defines new ones.

Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.

Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music’s most revered icons.
