Fender Made in Japan Hybrid II Jazzmaster - matte aero blue satin metallic

Discover the Fender Limited Edition Made in Japan Hybrid II Jazzmaster, a tribute to the iconic guitar that has stood the test of time while remaining resolutely contemporary.

Overview

Unveiled at the 1958 NAMM Show and produced through 1980, the Fender Jazzmaster was designed to offer jazz guitarists a “solid-body” alternative to the popular “archtops.” Although this luxurious model did not capture the attention of the jazz audience, it was widely embraced by surf music enthusiasts. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Jazzmaster gained popularity among American punk rock, shoegaze, and indie rock musicians. After several reissues, production of the Jazzmaster was relaunched in 1999, with numerous versions available under the Fender and Squier brands. It has been adopted by notable artists such as Elvis Costello, Nels Cline, and Thom Yorke.
