Off-the-radar Cool Guitar

Fender's Pawn Shop Offset Special semi-hollowbody electric guitar is a brilliant concoction of Fender goodness, all wrapped up in one incredible-looking, amazing-sounding instrument. You get a supremely comfortable offset-waist semi-hollow alder body with an f-hole, a smooth-fretting maple neck, and a pair of incredible humbucking Jazzmaster pickups. You can take these pups from mellow to blistering with a twist of your pinky. An Adjusto-Matic bridge and vintage-style Floating Tremolo tailpiece with trem lock complete the setup. If you're into off-the-radar cool electric guitars, Sweetwater's got your axe: the Fender Pawn Shop Offset Special.

What do you get when you cross a Strat with a...

The Fender Pawn Shop Offset Special starts with a basic Stratocaster body shape (arguably the most comfy solidbody in the universe). Fender then gave it an offset waist for optimal balance, whether you're playing seated or standing. Oh, yes - the Offset Special is semi-hollow (with an f-hole), giving you the famous Fender "snap" along with a dose of organic acoustic warmth. So, what do you get when you cross a Strat with a Tele Thinline with a Jazzmaster? A Fender Pawn Shop Offset Special, of course!

Dual Jazzmaster 'Buckers onboard

The The Fender Pawn Shop Offset Special sports a pair of JZHB humbucking Jazzmaster pickups. These JZHBs serve up singing, pristine cleans, yet they can get pretty nasty when you really lean into them. If you've got a tube amp with attitude, you can unleash a sonic blitzkrieg that'll strip the paint off club walls (if that's your thing). This powerful elixer is controlled via a 3-position toggle, a master volume, and a master tone. All in, the Fender Pawn Shop Offset Special offers you an amazingly versatile tone palette.

Fender Pawn Shop Series - the greatest guitars that never were

When you pick up a Fender Pawn Shop Offset Special, you're holding one of the most original instruments Fender never made. Part of Fender's fun and creative Pawn Shop Series, the Pawn Shop Offset Special captures the spirit of the mid '60s through the mid '70s, back when Fender began experimenting with alternative designs. Many of these truly unique instruments somehow found their way out into the real world, in time becoming the kind of rare treasures you might be lucky enough to find squirreled away in the back of a pawn shop.

Fender Pawn Shop Offset Special Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Fender's Pawn Shop Series: Guitars that never were, but should have been!
  • Unique and comfortable offset semi-hollowbody guitar
  • Double-cutaway body with f-hole and sleek offset waist
  • Two humbucking Jazzmaster pickups serve up deliciously different tone
  • Adjusto-Matic bridge with vintage style Floating Tremolo tailpiece and trem lock button
  • Vintage Style Tuning Machines safeguard your fingers from sharp string ends
  • Deluxe gig bag included
Look and sound different - with the Fender Pawn Shop Offset Special!
