The Fender Custom Shop 1963 Jazzmaster® Relic® in Aged Surf Green takes you back to the golden era of Fender innovation, authentically recreating a vintage Jazzmaster that has been played and loved for decades. As part of Fender’s Time Machine™ series, this model combines period-correct specs with meticulous Custom Shop craftsmanship, offering a guitar that looks, feels, and sounds like a true ‘60s original.

The 2-piece select alder body is finished in nitrocellulose lacquer with a carefully aged relic treatment, giving it the worn-in character of a road-tested classic. A quartersawn maple neck with a comfortable 1965 Strat® “C” profile is paired with a premium 3A rosewood fingerboard featuring a 7.25”–9.5” vintage compound radius and 21 narrow tall frets for exceptional playability. Vintage clay dot inlays add to the authentic ‘60s vibe.

For tone, this Jazzmaster is loaded with Custom Shop Hand-Wound Jazzmaster pickups wired with vintage-correct circuitry, offering glassy cleans, warm rhythm tones, and expressive overdrive. A RSD Jaguar®/Jazzmaster® bridge, pop-in tremolo arm, and vintage-style tuners with Fender logos complete the setup, delivering both performance stability and period styling. Each instrument comes with a Deluxe hardshell case, strap, and Certificate of Authenticity.
