The Made in Japan Traditional series is a fusion of traditional Fender models, with a modern twist. Built in Japan, these classic models are revived with sophisticated craftsmanship whilst retaining their authentic Fender DNA.

This special edition model is based on the Made in Japan Traditional 60s Jazzmaster® and will have limited availability through 2025. The "Black Pearl" and "White Pearl" models have a special pearl coating on the body and headstock, which when combined with gold hardware, gives an elegant and refined sense of luxury. The "Competition Black / 3-Color Sunburst" and "Competition 3-Color Sunburst / Aged Natural" models feature a distinctive take on competition stripes, with 3-Color Sunburst or Aged Natural lines to give a look that is original and speaks to Fender’s history.

Featuring a gloss-finished basswood body, 9.5-inch radius, "U"-shaped maple neck and 22 vintage-style frets, these guitars provide “modern classic” playability that is unique to the Traditional series. The 6-saddle vintage-style bridge with floating tremolo tailpiece and original pickups selected for the Traditional series produce realistic and musical vintage tones.

The Made in Japan Traditional Series is here to provide solid guitar craftsmanship, and a flexible instrument to suit the needs of any modern player.
