Fender Jazzmaster Signature Troy Van Leeuwen MN Copper Age

An Artist Jazzmaster with a Strong Character

Signature model of Troy Van Leeuwen (Failure, A Perfect Circle, Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal, Puscifer), this Jazzmaster embodies the spirit of Fender instruments from the mid-1960s while adding custom choices designed for the modern stage. Aesthetic details inspired by the era (binding, blocks, matching headstock) coexist with a selection of hardware and switching designed for quick access to sounds, from spacious cleans to denser textures.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This Jazzmaster is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want an expressive guitar capable of wide atmospheres and punchy rhythms. It excels in alternative rock, indie, stoner, desert rock, post-rock, shoegaze, and any genre where precise attack, vintage tone, and dynamic pick variations are sought.

The Sound

The SS configuration (two single-coils) Pure Vintage '65 Jazzmaster delivers an open sound, rich in harmonics, with defined highs and an airy low midrange typical of the Jazzmaster format. The 3-position selector allows switching from the bite of the bridge pickup to the warmth of the neck pickup, while the middle position offers an ideal balance for chords and textures. Activating the Rhythm circuit adds an additional path for softer, more controlled sounds, useful for taming attack or thickening a passage. On the construction side, the alder body provides overall balance and good definition, and the floating Jazzmaster tremolo, combined with the Mustang bridge (brass saddles), promotes a smooth feel with better tuning stability and gentle vibrato.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, favor an identical set of strings: Fender USA 250L nickel-plated steel (.009-.042). The instrument comes with a Hardshell Deluxe hard case, ideal for daily transport and protection.
