Fender Kim Gordon Jazzmaster Ltd (MEX) - olympic white

Best known as the bassist and co-founder of Sonic Youth, Kim Gordon is nonetheless a talented guitarist recognized for the uniqueness of her playing style, which emphasizes dissonance, texture, and restraint.
Manufactured in Mexico, the FENDER Limited Edition Kim Gordon Jazzmaster solid body electric guitar (0149440305) is a reinterpretation of the original 1960s Jazzmaster, designed for contemporary guitarists.
It combines traditional features (alder body, bolt-on maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, 25.5" scale length) with more modern elements (9.5" radius, Modern C neck profile).

It is equipped with a pair of single-coil pickups consisting of a Player Series Alnico 5 Jazzmaster at the neck position and a humbucking Seymour Duncan® JB™ TB-4 at the bridge position, allowing it to produce potentially rich distortion.
Its control layout has been simplified compared to the conventional Jazzmaster, featuring just a volume control, a tone control, and a three-position pickup selector switch.
Combined with Fender’s signature craftsmanship, these features deliver a range of classic tones in the truest sense of the word—vibrant and dynamic, with precise lows, balanced mids, and clear highs.

It is an excellently crafted mid-range guitar designed for musicians seeking a reliable, high-performance instrument capable of adapting to a wide range of genres, from pop rock to blues, garage rock, and indie.

Unveiled at the 1958 NAMM Show and initially produced through 1980, the Fender Jazzmaster was designed to offer jazz guitarists a “solid-body” alternative to the ubiquitous “archtops.”
Considered a luxury model, it stands out in particular for its sophisticated control panel featuring independent Lead and Rhythm circuits, as well as specialized pickups and a “Floating Tremolo” system.
Although it wasn’t embraced by the jazz audience for which it was intended, the Jazzmaster was particularly popular among surf music enthusiasts during its early years. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Jaguar became a favorite among many American punk rock, shoegaze, and indie rock musicians.
Following the first Japanese reissues in the mid-1980s, it went back into production in an American version in 1999. It has since been offered in numerous variations under the Fender and Squier brands.
Among its most famous players are Elvis Costello, Nels Cline of Wilco, Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins, J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth, Thom Yorke of Radiohead, Troy Van Leeuwen of Queens of the Stone Age, and others..
