Description
This is a genuine 2018 Fender American 60th Anniversary Triple Jazzmaster loaded pickguard in Tortoise Shell with three chrome Filter'Tron pickups and witch hat knobs. The pickguard itself is in near mint condition with the protective plastic still on it and the pickups show some slight oxidation from however the whole assembly is in excellent overall condition and fully functional.
This was one of three 60th Anniversary Jazzmaster models released in 2018, two American models, this one and the '58 Jazzmaster and also a Mexican model in four colorways. This was the one that stood out most with it's three pickguard mounted Filter'Tron pickup configuration and 5-way switch which you pretty much never saw on a Jazzmaster outside of a custom configuration. Filter'Trons were more known on Gretsch guitars and while they are hum-canceling and technically humbucking, they are built different than your typical PAF Gibson style humbucker and visually look pretty awesome.
The 5-way switch works like a typical Strat one where it's neck, neck+middle (parallel), middle, middle+bridge (parallel) and bridge. The mini toggle switch where the rhythm circuit typically lives on a traditional Jazzmaster allows you to change the way the middle position on the switch works, where instead of just the middle pickup, you can toggle between the neck and bridge pickup in parallel instead, like a normal Jazzmaster where the middle pickup doesn't exist.
In addition it also includes the full wiring harness, knobs, mounting screws/springs, etc. everything you see in the pictures.
Note that while the pickguard itself will fit most American and Mexican model Fender Jazzmasters, because this has pickguard mounted pickups you may need to route the body's pickup cavities some to make sure there's enough clearance to accommodate them since they're not body mounted like the traditional Jazzmaster pickups. Other than that it's a great upgrade for your American or MIM Jazzmaster and ready to drop in with minimal soldering!
