Gold foil pickups have an alluring quality to them that has kept many guitarists and bassists hooked on them dating back to the 1950’s. They were typically made for and placed in entry-level instruments and were known to be inconsistent in tonal qualities. Yet, they sounded and looked unique enough to be special and sought after, still revered by so many all these years later. Now, they can be wound consistently, and very clearly belong in more than just entry-level instruments. Fender has gone and taken full advantage of that with this brand-new guitar.

The Fender Gold Foil Collection Jazzmaster is equipped with three gold foil mini-humbucker pickups. They are warm, wide, articulate, and certainly a visual compliment to this glossy Candy Apple Burst finish. Since this guitar has an “extra” pickup if you’re comparing it to a more typical Jazzmaster, its controls are a bit different too. Each pickup has its own on/off slide switch inside a Jaguar-inspired switch plate, visually paying homage to many vintage gold foil pickup wiring configurations. A maple ‘60s “C” shaped neck with ebony fingerboards span across the whole collection. This Jazzmaster’s board has a 9.5” radius, binding, and white pearloid block inlays. A Bigsby B50 vibrato, JM bridge with Mustang saddles, 4-play Tortoiseshell pickguard, and matching painted headcap round out this tribute to guitars of the initial “Gold Foil Era” nicely.

Whether you’re a sucker for gold foil pickups, the stylish aesthetic of the guitar bodies and finishes that housed them, or just love a perfectly playable modern-day Fender, this Gold Foil Collection Jazzmaster has all of the above.
