The Squier 40th Anniversary Jazzmaster Gold Edition celebrates four decades of Squier with an upscale take on one of Fender's most distinctive offset designs. Its poplar body is paired with a slim "C"-shaped neck and a bound Indian laurel fingerboard with Pearloid block inlays, 21 narrow-tall frets, a 9.5" radius, and a full 25.5" scale for comfortable, responsive playability. Dual Fender Designed Alnico 5 single-coil pickups deliver the clear, articulate, and characterful tone associated with the Jazzmaster, while a vintage-style 6-saddle bridge with floating vibrato provides expressive pitch effects. Premium anniversary appointments including gold-plated hardware, a gold anodized aluminum pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines, and an engraved 40th Anniversary neck plate give this commemorative model a striking look worthy of the stage or collection.
