Elvis Costello is a musical legend. There's no doubt about it. With 35 studio albums, a huge number of collaborations and a number of operas under his belt, he is nothing short of talented. And his guitars are nothing short of beautiful. He has always been known for his trademark use of Fenders, especially the Jazzmaster. So it is only fair that after all this time, Fender give him his own signature Jazzmaster. And what a beauty it is. When i saw it today i came close to dribbling over it.
I have never been a great fan of the Jazzmaster, but i love this one. The first thing that struck me was the amazing finish on the Alder body. Fender call it 'Walnut Rosewood'. I sports a rosewood fretboard on a specially designed 70's style neck design, a pair of lush-sounding specially designed P90 pickups and the turtleshell finish scratchplate. Add to this to the specially designed tremolo arm, which has been bent away from the guitar to allow room for more travel, and you have yourself a beautiful guitar. Look HERE for more detail and pictures. It selling on websites like Dolphin Music for £1,500, a fair price compared to some of Fenders other signature models. Oh, if only i had that amount of money spare!
Peace out for today. x
