Fender Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster Electric Guitar

A Jazzmaster for a Rock Guitar Hero
For the past two decades, Troy Van Leeuwen has put his personal stamp on modern rock through his work with such influential bands as A Perfect Circle and Queens of the Stone Age. With this Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster, he also got to put his stamp on one of the coolest Fender guitars you'll find in Sweetwater's Guitar Gallery. While it's easy to write off the signature touches of the Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster as largely aesthetic, you'll find some wonderful upgrades onboard as well, including its unique switching and Mustang bridge. Keep reading to find out more.



Unique switching supplies quick access to your rhythm tone
One of the major upgrades Troy Van Leeuwen added to his signature Jazzmaster is a 2-way toggle switch instead of the traditional slider used to select between the lead and rhythm tone circuits. If you aren't already familiar with the Fender Jazzmaster, it actually enables two completely different tone and volume settings, one with the knobs and another with the recessed wheels above the strings. Thanks to the Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster's toggle switch, changing between these two settings on the fly couldn't be simpler. And if you're into tweaking your tone on the fly, then you're going to love these super-grippable witch hat control knobs for your primary tone setting.






Upgraded hardware provides added sustain and stability
What could possibly improve the action of a Jazzmaster? How about a Mustang bridge to go with that locking Jazzmaster? That's exactly what Troy Van Leeuwen chose for his own signature Jazzmaster. Cooler still, those saddles are actually made of brass, so you get seriously extended sustain. Add to that a smooth-playing bound maple fingerboard with a tighter 7.25" radius, and you've got one easy-playing guitar.
