To honor the sonic legacy of alt/indie rock founding father J Mascis, Fender® is proud to introduce the new J Mascis Signature Jazzmaster® Pickups. Mascis took the Jazzmaster into new sonic territory with his feedback-drenched, distortion-laden band, Dinosaur Jr. and on solo records, influencing countless artists and tone seekers to follow.

The J Mascis Signature Jazzmaster Pickups are primed for fuzz-infused walls of sound or gentle vintage cleans. Constructed with alnico 2 magnets and wound to J’s specifications these pickups offer are a modern take on his signature Jazzmaster tone. The alnico 2 magnets lend to a warmer tonal palette than most Jazzmaster pickups and respond great to drive and fuzz pedals.
