FENDER SPARK-O-MATIC JAZZMASTER 3TSB

Description

With the Fender Parallel Universe Volume II Spark-O-Matic Jazzmaster, Fender luthiers ditched the rhythm circuit in lieu of a trio of Seymour Duncan mini humbuckers and five-way switching. Each position seems to sound even more glorious than the last. And its maple neck with Deep "C" profile is presented with a satin nitro finish, giving it a smooth, fast, played-in feel right out of the case. Complete with the classic floating vibrato tailpiece for evocative pitch bends and warbles, the Fender Parallel Universe Volume II Spark-O-Matic Jazzmaster gives you an entirely new set of reasons to love this classic offset guitar.

Three Seymour Duncan mini humbuckers
The classic Jazzmaster sound is full and rich, with a wide frequency response and the perfect balance of clarity and warmth — you'd better have a good reason to replace a Jazzmaster's single-coil pickups. Fender had a great reason, with a trio of Seymour Duncan mini humbucking pickups — an SM-3B in the bridge position, and SM-1N pickups in the middle and neck positions. These offer the punchy, mid-focused tone mini humbuckers are known for, without the single-coil hum and buzz. Factor in five-way switching, and the Parallel Universe Volume II Spark-O-Matic Jazzmaster offers tonal versatility closer to that of a Strat than a typical Jazzmaster.

Custom three-piece body enhances resonance and sustain
Crafted with a three-piece body, the Parallel Universe Volume II Spark-O-Matic Jazzmaster yields impressively resonant tonality, and generous sustain too. The core is made from mahogany, with chambered ash wings on either side. Finish with a classy nitro lacquer finish, this custom body make those comfortable offset curves an incredibly elegant affair.

Addictive playability
Fender's Parallel Universe guitars are unique combinations of classic Fender guitars that we never knew we wanted at Sweetwater, and we already know we'll be sad to see these Limited Edition guitars go. You probably didn't wake up this morning thinking, "I'd sure love the expressiveness of a Jazzmaster, but with three mini humbuckers," but once you get it in your hands and plug into your favorite amplifier, you'll understand the genius of it. If the Parallel Universe Volume II Spark-O-Matic Jazzmaster looks like it's a good fit for you, don't wait.
