Independent shopping perspective
Sonic Blue distinguishes this Classic Vibe ’60s Jazzmaster, which uses dual Fender-Designed alnico single-coils and separate rhythm and lead circuits. Select the rhythm circuit for the neck pickup alone, adjusted by two thumbwheels. In the lead circuit, choose neck, both pickups, or bridge, then set the dedicated neck and bridge volumes with master tone. The guitar has a 25.5-inch scale, slim C-shaped maple neck, 9.5-inch laurel fingerboard, 21 narrow-tall frets, and a six-saddle non-locking floating vibrato bridge.
