Fender Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster | Fender

[@Orieus]

honestly id never get a signature guitar, but when i played this bad boy i almost did. Ive been playing jazzmasters my whole life and this was one of the nicest ive played. He did a good few simple mods and really mades it playable.

[@kevindecloedt1453]

I like the part of the video where he played the guitar...

[@Zosoking513]

I've seen Troy take his shades off before, there's just another pair underneath them

[@noiralex1]

Its a beauty Iv always loved Jazzmasters and this one as the rigth colour

[@davidepaolo276]

Im super late to this oarty but just purchased one of these--my first artist model guitar--and love it! It has changed my perdepctive on what artist models are really about and I think some of Fender's best work is found on these signature guitars

[@TheNohcim]

Baaaaad guitar. Saw him live and I mistook this thing for an actual 60's Jazzmaster. Really want one.

[@dejiita]

i dont care if its a mim, mij, cij or a mia its still a cool looking jazzmaster and i want it right now

[@HenrySchecker]

Beautiful guitar

[@BrandonBriers]

Loved the Big Lebowski reference hahaha :') That headstock really tied the guitar together!

[@davidhelbig4049]

Haha same!

[@ishadawaher-bakhos1048]

Played it once in a store. Can't like any other guitar anymore.

[@DelScully]

whats it sound like? I was gonna snag a jag but I want a guitar that sounds nice clean and warm, and basically just use whatever pedals to get any other sounds out of a 65 deluxe

[@ishadawaher-bakhos1048]

It's very warm-sounding! I want it for the same reasons as you and I think it just fits perfectly. I liked all of it, the frets, the bridge, the pickups, its versatility. I would recommend you to play it somewhere, maybe you won't feel the same

[@TheJacko177]

that lebowski reference

[@henrymaldonado3989]

If Fender is paying attention: if you discontinue the guitar before I save up enough to buy it can you keep the rhythm toggle switch in future models?

[@richardmood3299]

Dude comment about the carpet was epic!

[@kitesproject-c2b]

Why don't Kevin Shields Have a signature guitar?

[@Rocker6969]

hmmm thats a good point :) MBV Loveless is an incredible album.

[@curtis5979]

YEEESSSS god I wish fender would ask Kevin to do a jazzmaster or a jag that would make my life lol

[@Volteche]

WowGreatJob Kevin would probably bankrupt fender

[@pabloguerrafuster]

Volteche hahahaha

[@IrvanSigufi]

Awesome!!

[@Charizti]

What about actually playing it so that we can hear?

[@Colin.W]

I bought this guitar and it was sitting in my nearest shop (in a different location) with just a few hundred bucks left to pay and I changed my mind last minute and used the store credit to get something else. I am eyeballing it once again! lol

[@mikevbushy]

my next guitar for sure! still paying for my jaguar special run ill be adding this next

[@henrikpetersson2899]

***** J Mascis got a Fender CIJ the first time around. The one in purple sparkle with golden pick guard. The one that they sell now is his second model.

[@Orieus]

+Henrik Petersson (Fruitful Life) that was a really cool jazzmaster as well. Crafted well

[@curtis5979]

Dream guitar

[@mattyankovich]

is this MIM?

[@samsschool3639]

Just got one of these babies. Sounds exactly like the Led Zeppelin, The Cure and Manic Street Preachers record man!

[@Min0rfr3t]

A squier version would be pimp as hell.

[@thenoiseking]

Hmm, is some of that live footage from the Metro in Chicago?

[@andrazhojnik6688]

great lookin`

[@ayeilikecroissants2584]

How does he make it a kill switch when it's already a pickup selector?

[@jackmartin01]

+AirKrist 117 By turning the volume down on the rhythm circuit

[@JosephGallagher]

Big Lebowsky reference!! =D

[@joaquimroxo8555]

I can't handle that he's not the qotsa's lead guitarist

[@metalheadblues]

Who is , Josh? With a band like QOTSA it doesn't matter , they both play lead.

[@MonticArckeys]

So so cool.

[@DonThorvund]

The guitar he is playing in the video has a Mastery Bridge. I really wish Fender would duplicate that as it is integral piece of Troy's actual gear.

[@areyoujelton]

Licensing issues.

[@mikewilliams5969]

1.43 Big Lebowski reference, duuuuuuude

[@Naarvana]

The first line of Kurt Cobain Jaguar is better but this is really good as a second option

[@thomasrevere7916]

I own two of these.

[@adeptonihilam3150]

But why?

[@thomasrevere7916]

@@adeptonihilam3150 I bought one new about a year ago. I bought the second one because a guy on craigslist had one listed for $1000. It's too good of a guitar to not buy it at that price. I'm hoping to find someone who has the Copper Age and wants the Oxblood so I can make a trade. I might just keep it and have one in standard and one in C tuning.

[@seventyeight23]

Badass!

[@rhyssfreeman942]

Love jazzmaster and jags but fret buzz and the floating bridge kill the enjoyment! I know you can fix it with a mastery bridge and buzz stopper but when you pay over $1000.00 for an instrument, you shouldn't have to spend another $200 - $300 on mods. Had my jag a week and very disappointed that I can't do drop d without major buzz!

[@MrMcpoop1234]

offsetguitars.com that's all I have to say.

[@PrinceLX]

I have a Jaguar HH, neither Drop D or D standard are any bother. Granted, mine has a bridge that isn't stock, but the 24" scale length kind of kills going lower. This has the advantage of being a giraffe amongst guitars - 27.5" scale, I believe? I have full confidence that it could do C standard with heavy enough strings.

[@theyearoftherat]

u don't need a buzz stop with a mastery. in fact, you don't want a buzz stop on one period - it kills some of the guitar's nuances.

[@henrikpetersson2899]

This one does have the bridge switched out already however.

[@cachiruleta]

Great

[@minisurfbanana]

Why is this signature made in Mexico? $1300??? Should $3-400 cheaper being made down south.

[@universalmanchild]

+Mini Surf All American parts, just assembled in Mexico. However the fact that it's a "signature" model automatically hypes the price up.

[@gorillaz6399]

As far as I know, most artists have a say in the price of their signature models. And the guitar has a custom color and painted headstock, so that probably affected the price as well.

[@gnarmyskateboardco]

@@gorillaz6399 plus the inlays, standard jazzes almost never have those do they? loove

[@michaelgreen5206]

@@universalmanchild Probably painted & sealed there, too to avoid OSHA?

[@Casey_J96]

Cool looking guitar but I disagree about experimenting on a jazzmaster. The bridge doesn't handle different timings well at all

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

That's why it comes stock with a mustang bridge. He wanted a deal with Mastery, but the guy couldn't make enough.

[@rickmunro4141]

tell that to Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine

[@areyoujelton]

Yeah that's pretty much all they do... I can't remember last time my Jazzmasters were in standard hahaha BORING! This dude was way off.

[@mattbelloni]

Radius?

[@RyanMohrOfficial]

Is this American made?

[@theyearoftherat]

No - it's Mexican made but retailing extremely HIGH.

[@theyearoftherat]

Just wait - we will be seeing some guitars without the Squier name, Fender instead, on headstocks made in places like Indonesia and China more often; as Ensenada workers are wanting more money it will be off to the next cheap labor force to not exploit. Wonder where it will be these companies go after even Indonesian wages rise.

[@marklewis7484]

Why is this video not 30 mins?

[@devos3838]

I would go to hell and back to just to look at that

[@Kathayne636]

Strange how he talks about how he grew up on Zeppelin and Hendrix so it was all standard tuning... Jimmy Page so many different tunings it's ridiculous.

[@H_Oscarsson]

Really nice guitar! Doesn't kill you wallet either…just a little. :)

[@luizfloripa]

sad that is overpriced for a mim.

[@nicethugbert]

Looks like a stock jazzmaster to me with a particular cosmetic styling.

[@theslayerofgoblins849]

I want this guitar really bad but I can't bring myself to pay well over 1000 bones for a guitar that's not made in the United states of America. I'm sure it's worth every penny......But still

[@theyearoftherat]

$1300 for a Mexican made guitar? No thanks.

[@grungehack]

Dammit, ruined my gas.

[@PaulderDreher]

made in mexico by mexicans or made in USA by mexicans, whats the difference besides the "made in USA" logo? Its very well build and the materials are just as good as american made fenders. I played this guitar and it killed all usa made fenders I ever played.

[@grungehack]

I have a Classic Player (MIM) virtually identical in color, the thing is gorgeous gotta say. Agreed about headstocks though, - I have a Squier JM that is my favorite of the 2 - actually.

[@shckltnebay]

+PaulderDreher the reissue models and the Johnny Marr have nitro finish

[@Megamando93]

+carstopguy shhh, let him live in ignorance

[@leopoldomarcialochoa]

Bla,bla,bla, bah !!
