A "boutique" approach to the Jazzmaster sound within the Fender lineage
This Jazzmaster pickup set revisits the iconic Fender design by focusing on a rare and musical magnetic combination: CuNiFe and Cobalt Chrome. Conceived by the renowned pickup designer Tim Shaw, this set has a clear goal: to preserve the vintage spirit of the Jazzmaster while adding a reserve of dynamics and a more nuanced response under the fingers.
Who is this pickup set for?
The Fender CuNiFe/Cobalt Chrome Jazzmaster Pickup Set is aimed at guitarists who want a more expressive Jazzmaster without losing its identity: fans of ample clean, surf, indie, alternative, or ambient textures, as well as studio musicians seeking precise attack and a rich tone. Ideal if you frequently switch between fingerstyle and pick playing, and if you make extensive use of volume and playing dynamics.
The CuNiFe and Cobalt Chrome complementarity: definition, warmth, and dynamics
The threaded CuNiFe neck pickup delivers articulated warmth, with clear note separation and a "round" feel that remains readable even on complex chords. The threaded Cobalt Chrome bridge pickup enhances presence and impact: sharper attacks, emphasized harmonics, and better sustain when pushing the amp or pedals. The result: a balanced set that retains the Jazzmaster signature while offering a wider dynamic range and a more inspiring playing response.
