Fender Limited Edition Gold Foil Jazzmaster, Candy Apple Burst

Fender Limited Edition Gold Foil Jazzmaster, Candy Apple Burst Overview

The Fender Limited Edition Gold Foil Jazzmaster is a special-run electric guitar inspired by cult classic models from the sixties. Featuring two DeArmond-style mini-humbuckers, a matching headstock and a Mahogany body, this JM has a captivating tone to match its retro looks.

Gold Foil Collection

This Fender Jazzmaster is part of the Gold Foil Limited Collection, where each model oozes vintage charm and tone. Boasting high-end appointments across the board, including unique finishes, Ebony fretboards, premium hardware and special gold foil pickups, these Fender guitars and basses are bound to captivate players looking for an authentic 60s flavour. Although the Fender Gold Foil series is based on now sought-after “student guitars” from back in the day, you can expect every guitar in the range to be made with Fender’s trademark professional-quality construction.

Out of the Ordinary

Whilst Alder is often the tonewood of choice for Fender Jazzmaster bodies, this Gold Foil Collection version features a Mahogany body. As a tonewood, Mahogany is well-known for its sweet, punchy growl, juicy mid-range and singing sustain. The Maple neck is carved to a comfortable '60s “C” profile and features a glass-like bound Ebony fretboard with a modern 9.5" radius and 21 Narrow Tall frets. The neck also features a satin urethane finish for an inviting “played-in” feel and a matched headcap for that classic look.

Kitted Out

Giving the Fender Gold Foil Jazzmaster its sixties Garage Rock vibe are its trio of Gold Foil mini-humbuckers, which are controlled via a Jaguar-inspired switch plate. These pickups are renowned for their bright and crisp yet remarkably full tonal character, with exceptional string-to-string separation and clarity. Fender also equip the Gold Foil Jazzmaster with premium hardware from top-to-bottom, including vintage-style tuners with white buttons and a Bigsby B50 vibrato bridge for those expressive bends.

Available Finishes

There are two Fender Gold Foil Jazzmaster models in their own sleek, old-school finish, a Candy Apple Burst and a Shoreline Gold Jazzmaster. For Tele fans, there’s also a Gold Foil Telecaster in Candy Apple Burst and a Gold Foil Telecaster in White Blonde.
