Fender Custom Shop 62 Jazzmaster NOS - Violin Burst #XN19515

The Fender Custom Shop ’62 Jazzmaster NOS in Violin Burst is a masterfully crafted instrument that captures the elegance of a golden-era design while refining it for the modern player. It feels both familiar and elevated, with a level of detail and responsiveness that reflects its Custom Shop pedigree.

The roasted flame alder body, finished in a rich lacquer Violin Burst, offers a resonant and dynamic tonal foundation with enhanced stability and a subtle visual depth that reveals itself in changing light. Paired with a roasted flame maple neck carved to the classic ’62 Jazzmaster shape, the guitar has a smooth, broken-in feel from the very first touch. The nitrocellulose lacquer neck finish adds to that organic, vintage-inspired response, while the AAA rosewood fingerboard brings warmth and clarity to every note.

Designed for comfort and precision, the compound fingerboard radius transitions from 9.5" to 12", allowing for easy chord work near the nut and effortless bending higher up the neck. Narrow tall 6105 frets and a 1.650" nut width provide a refined playing experience that feels both controlled and expressive, making it equally suited for intricate rhythm work and fluid lead lines.

Visually, the guitar is understated yet striking. The Violin Burst finish pairs beautifully with the 3-ply black, white, black pickguard, while mother-of-pearl inlays add a touch of elegance across the fretboard. Every element feels cohesive and intentional, staying true to its vintage roots while embracing a more polished presentation.

At its core, this Jazzmaster delivers the unmistakable character of its design. Hand-wound Jazzmaster Flat Magnet pickups in both the neck and bridge positions produce a wide, airy voice with clarity, depth, and a slightly percussive attack that defines the model. The dual-circuit layout offers exceptional tonal flexibility, with a lead circuit for full, open tones and a rhythm circuit that introduces a warmer, more subdued character. A 3-position toggle switch and 2-position slide control make it easy to move between sounds, giving you access to everything from shimmering cleans to rich, textured layers.

The American Vintage Jazzmaster tremolo system, paired with an Adjusto-Matic RSD bridge and tremolo lock button, provides smooth, expressive vibrato with reliable tuning stability. Vintage-style tuning machines with the Fender logo further reinforce its classic feel while maintaining dependable performance.

Weighing in at 8 pounds even and including a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity, this ’62 Jazzmaster NOS is more than a tribute to a classic. It is a refined, highly playable instrument that blends history, craftsmanship, and tonal versatility into something truly inspiring.
