A collection of new & used Fender Jazzmaster guitars listed for sale this week. Fender introduced the Jazzmaster in 1958 (*). As the name implies, the design breif was to appeal to the Jazz musician. This was a group who had at that time mostly ignored Fender’s offerings. There was surprise in just how far reaching an appeal the new guitar had in genres outside the original target. In the 1960’s it was the most popular instrument for the surf music bands. It went on to become the favoured guitar of many new wave musicians in the 70’s. This success continued in through the 80’s and 90’s in the hands of alternative and indie rock bands.
A list of musicians who have played the Jazzmaster reads like a who’s who of legendary guitarists. Here’s just a few: Elvis Costello, Kevin Shields and Bilinda Butcher (My Bloody Valentine), Jonny Buckland (Coldplay). Not enough? how about Aaron North (Nine Inch Nails) and the one and only Robert Smith (The Cure). Yes, it really does just go on and on.
Don’t get stuck in to a bidding war and pay over the odds for your Jaszzmaster. Before spending hundreds, possibly thousands, on a used Fender we recommend checking out NEW prices. For that reason we suggest popping over to our affiliated shopping partners at Gear4Music
