FACTOIDS & TRIVIA

In 2014, Fender released a signature Jazzmaster for rock guitarist  Troy Van Leeuwen. It was offered in an Oxblood finish with a pau ferro fingerboard until 2020 when a second color, Copper Age with maple fingerboard, was added. The main points of interest with this model are the maple fingerboard, Pure Vintage 65 pickups and 3-way toggle in place of the usual rhythm circuit slider switch.
