Just Like Costello's '77 Axe!
Fender's Elvis Costello Jazzmaster guitar pays tribute to one of the most recognizable Jazzmaster players in pop music history. Throughout the past 30 years, Costello's own Jazzmaster has gone through many changes, but the Fender Elvis Costello Jazzmaster faithfully replicates his guitar at the time he recorded his critically acclaimed debut album, My Aim is True. Complete with an early '70s neck design, loose and smooth-traveling tremolo for a decidedly "spy movie feel," walnut stain finish, and vintage-style tuners - the Elvis Costello Jazzmaster looks just as jazzy as it plays!

The look and feel of Costello's Jazzmaster
In 1977, Costello made a splash with his debut album, My Aim is True. This Fender Elvis Costello Jazzmaster pays tribute to Costello's guitar at the time of the album's recording, and includes a host of vintage-styled touches to give it the true feel and appearance of Costello's own. First, for that signature spy movie sound, the tremolo's tension is set looser, while the arm is bent at a steeper angle away from the body to provide more travel.
Vintage-style appointments and accesories
The Fender Elvis Costello Jazzmaster has a true-to-time late 60s/early 70s logo, as well as vintage Fender/Gotoh tuners. A custom walnut stain finish, and 4-ply brown shell pickguard add to this Jazzmaster's classic look, while Special Design American Vintage Jazzmaster single-coil pickups are seated in both the neck and bridge position to provide its excellent, vintage tone.
