The Fender Custom Shop ’62 Reissue Jazzmaster Journeyman Relic in Purple Sparkle is a true showstopper — a dazzling modern reimagining of Fender’s most iconic offset. The Journeyman Relic finish strikes a perfect balance between vintage vibe and contemporary elegance, with soft lacquer checking and light patina against a stunning metallic purple hue that shimmers beautifully under light.This model captures everything players love about the early-’60s Jazzmaster — its woody resonance, wide single-coil chime, and smooth, expressive vibrato — while offering modern refinements that make it effortlessly playable. The rift-sawn maple neck and round-lam rosewood fingerboard deliver a wonderfully stable feel and balanced tone, while the 9.5" radius and medium vintage frets provide a smooth, fast playing surface without losing that vintage authenticity.
The Custom Shop hand-wound pickups are wound to vintage spec, producing that unmistakable Jazzmaster tone — mellow yet articulate, with a dynamic top-end that responds beautifully to touch. The lead/rhythm circuit gives you two unique tonal palettes in one instrument — bright and punchy on the lead side, warm and woolly on the rhythm circuit — making this one of the most versatile single-coil Fenders ever built.
The RSD J-Bridge with compensated brass saddles ensures perfect intonation and improved resonance, while the Journeyman Relic treatment gives this guitar the look and feel of a well-loved classic from day one.
A stunning, boutique-grade offset built with precision, tone, and artistry — this Purple Sparkle edition is as rare and collectible as it is inspiring to play.
