NGD: Fender Custom Shop "Chicago Special" '62 Jazzmaster
I recently narrowly missed out on a great opportunity to get a vintage custom color Jazzmaster and decided to get my custom color matching headstock Jazzmaster fix in modern Custom Shop form instead, which was commissioned by Chicago Music Exchange. The finish is Firemist Silver and it has a Journeyman relic treatment. The real beauty of this one is in the pickups, which were very carefully replicated from Shelby Pollard's '60s JM. They sound really fantastic! The height of the treble side is much higher, which looked a little wonky to me at first, but the sound is balanced that way, so I'm not going to mess with a good thing.
I've had it for a few weeks, but finally got around to taking a full set of pics. Enjoy!

Gorgeous! I love FMS so much. It can't decide if it wants to be blue, green or silver and I respect that.
