Early example of the Jazzmaster came with an anodised aluminium scratch plate.
Jazzmasters were introduced in 1958 and at $329 was $50 more expensive than the Strat.
It was the first guitar from Fender to feature a rosewood fingerboard.
The new 'lock-off' vibrato was to prevent tuning problems if a string breaks.
It also featured a new enlarged headstock design.
The Buzz Stop, a base plate with string-tension bar that bolts down to the Jazzmaster style tremolo can be installed to increase string pressure in the saddle to improve tone.
