Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo. Jazzmaster guitars slung across seminal shoulders. In the hands of both men, the sound of Sonic Youth is the sound of that guitar used as part paintbrush and part cluster bomb. If anybody ought to have signature Jazzmaster models, it’s those two guys.
Done. Fender introduces the new Thurston Moore Jazzmaster and the Lee Ranaldo Jazzmaster guitars. Classic Jazzmaster gestalt, Youth-fully stripped down and hot rodded right through the roof.
Special features of the Thurston Moore Jazzmaster include two Seymour Duncan® Antiquity II™ for Jazzmaster pickups, two-piece black anodized pickguard, American Vintage Jazzmaster tremolo with Adusto-Matic™ bridge and tremolo lock button, single master volume control, and a Forest Green Transparent satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish and black-painted headstock, plus a Sonic Youth ’zine and sticker sheet.
