Jazzmaster Now Available on Fender Mod Shop

[trustee]

This just opened up big stuff for the Am. Pro JM - tons of color options plus neck combos, pickups, tuners, etc. Hopefully the Jag will come soon.

That's just wonderful.

9 is the default string gauge.

9 is the default string gauge.

& the only neck option is 9.5 radius & no matching headstock. It is a step in the right direction though.

So does this mean one could purchase an AmPro Jazzmaster in Ocean Turquoise with rosewood 9.5 fretboard and AV65 pickups for $1799?

[Larry Mal]

You can get a Daphne blue in that configuration, with a black pickguard.

That's just not bad. I'm going to tip my hat to Fender, I really am.

No matching headstock?

So close, yet so far

I feel like they realize that putting vintage radius, matched headstock guitars in the mod shop would all but destroy the market for AV65's.

This is great news. Is it wrong to get a Summer paper route for a man in his 40s in the fall?

Why? You can't buy a matching headstock JM or Jagur really anyway haha

I know about the Olympic White JM but come on how is there no option to get this?

COOL I CAN GET DIFFERENT TUNERS OR PICKUPS RIVETING

zzzzzzzz call me when they make a custom shop site like this where you can see what yr doing like our dressing room. Shits weak as hell

Looks like they come with the tone control turned fully up. I only play with the tone at 9 o'clock. Dealbreaker.

More options is great, but you still can't order a vintage-spec model in all the classic fender colors. I refuse to believe it would cost that much extra to have some unfinished guitars on the side to be sprayed in shell pink, CFM, sherwood green, etc. on a made-to-order basis. Fully manufactured guitar- not a whole custom shop deal- just adding paint and your choice of pickguard. Is there any other reason for not doing that besides that it cuts into their expensive custom shop sales?

[leokula]

I believe they are a profit oriented company. Makes sense to have some strategy where they make more money as opposed to another one where they make less.

[Singlebladepickup]

I know they aren't UNICEF but offering official Fender gear with classic options could draw people back who've gone to warmoth, MJT, musikraft, usacg, etc.

Those other companies might offer lower prices than Fender, but they also offer more choices. If Fender went just a little further with the mod shop thing, they could probably make profit by getting back some of the people who want a vintage-style mustang or a CFM jazzmaster with matching headstock. I'm just saying just a few more options wouldn't wreck the custom shop if people believe the custom shop is about more than aesthetics and choice of fretboard radius.
