Collectibility Rating: 1958-1959: C, 1959-1965: C-.
Introduced in mid 1958, this model was Fender's attempt to enter the jazz market. Leo Fender designed the pickups to produce a mellower tone than the Stratocaster and Telecaster. This was done to get jazz guitarists to use the model. However, very few jazz players liked it. Much to Fender's suprise, it turned into the best surf guitar ever conceived. Leo Fender designed an all-new vibrato system and electronics circuit for the Jazzmaster. In addition, the Jazzmaster was the first Fender to be sold with a rosewood fingerboard.
Contoured body with offset waist, 2 rectangle white covered pickups, Gibson-like 3 way selector switch, volume and tone roller knobs on bass side, 2 master volume and tone knobs on treble side, floating tremolo and bridge (individual saddles), Strat-like peghead shape.
