• Hot-rodded with independent spirit

Primed for that Sonic Youth sound
It's hard to draw any comparisons to this decidedly trailblazing band. With Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore at the 6-string helm, Sonic Youth took on the world their own way... a noisy, underground, textured, avant-garde sort of way. And that's just what the Lee Ranaldo Jazzmaster is all about. Ranaldo's been playing Jazzmasters forever — loves 'em. So, he and Fender got together to develop his ultimate Jazzmaster™. It's hot-rodded and it's definitely eye-catching. Read on to find out more about the Fender Lee Ranaldo Jazzmaster.

Hot-rodded with independent spirit
The Jazzmaster is already the outside-of-the-mainstream Fender of choice. And here, with the Lee Ranaldo Jazzmaster™, you've got an independent take on the independent axe. Special features of the Lee Ranaldo Jazzmaster include two new Fender Wide Range humbucking pickups, re-voiced to original vintage spec. It's also got a black anodized pickguard, and and American Vintage Jazzmaster tremolo with Mustang^® bridge and tremolo lock button. In Ranaldo style, there's a single master volume control, a Sapphire Blue Transparent satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish, and a black-painted headstock. A Sonic Youth 'zine comes with it, and you also get a Sonic Youth sticker sheet for decking out the included hardshell case.
