The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Unique Jazzmaster pickups delivering a warmer, rounder tone than standard single-coils. Offset body design that balances perfectly in any playing position. Rhythm circuit providing a completely separate voicing for recording and mellow playing. Floating vibrato system adding expressiveness no other design can match.
The rhythm circuit is your absolute secret weapon for recording - flip the upper switch and roll the tone wheel for a warm, vintage voice that sits perfectly in any mix. Most Jazzmaster players never discover this hidden gem.
The Jazzmaster offers a tonal palette that genuinely no other guitar in history can replicate. From My Bloody Valentine's walls of sound to Dinosaur Jr.'s searing leads, the Jazzmaster has become the guitar of choice for musicians who refuse to sound like everyone else. Once you go offset, conventional guitars start to feel creatively limiting.

Featuring aged chrome hardware, an anodized aluminum pickguard, a vintage-tinted maple neck, an engraved anniversary neck plate and satin finish throughout, this Jazzmaster honors the heritage of the Squier catalog and its ancestry. Player-friendly refinements of this commemorative model include a slim and comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile for an easy playing feel, vintage-style tuning machines and 6-saddle floating bridge and tremolo for authentic performance and style, and Fender-Designed single-coil pickups with alnico 5 magnets for familiar Jazzmaster tone.| Model Name | 40th Anniversary Jazzmaster®, Vintage Edition, Maple Fingerboard, Gold Anodized Pickguard, Satin Desert Sand |
