“Fred’s”

“Fred’s”!

‘58 "Gold-Guard" inspired set mildly adjusted for better balance across the positions.

-Aged/lightly degaussed Alnico 5

-42awg plain enamel wire, 7k3 neck, ~8k9-9k1 bridge.

-Lacquered bobbins with strain relief mod for the leads.

-Lightly potted, RWRP

None of my Jazzmaster options are year by year clones, but if you want that early Jazzmaster tone with some better balance neck to bridge this set is a great option. Warm and wide, very sweet mids, clear and detailed vintage-twangy highs that are just right, not too bright, and full bass with lots of snap.
