Fender Jazzmaster

Offset electric guitar model family

Introduced in 1958 as Fender's flagship, the Jazzmaster has a large offset body, wide flat single-coil pickups, a dual rhythm/lead circuit, and a floating tremolo with a separate bridge. Originally marketed to jazz players, it instead became a cornerstone of surf, then later alternative and indie rock.
