Condition Note: Finish crack on the treble side bout.

The Jazzmaster has always been Fender’s offset icon—laid-back, stylish, and built for players who like to color outside the lines. In our CME Exclusive Lavender Haze finish, that spirit becomes even more evocative: a dreamy, smoky violet with the soul of vintage Chicago and the pulse of a midnight set at The Empty Bottle. Our “Full Dip” pickups transform the Jazzmaster’s naturally wide sonic canvas into something richer and more articulate. The Alnico 2 magnets round off the edges, the 5% overwind adds presence and push, and a custom 4-way switching mod opens up an entirely new voice. In the added fourth position, both pickups run in series—effectively forming one massive, high-output humbucker for thick, commanding tones you won’t find on a stock Jazzmaster.

Player II Lavender Haze Series

The CME Exclusive Player II series debuts a brand new could-have-been-but-never-was colorway that's unabashedly inspired by mid-century appliances, classic cars, and well... golden-era electric guitars. Make way for Lavender Haze—a smokey amethyst hue with notes of sandy Lake Michigan beaches and fragrant Chicago lilac gardens. It's a color equally at home on your kitchen counter as it would be cruising down Lake Shore Drive, and more appropriately slung around your neck on stage at The Empty Bottle. 

At the heart of these instruments are Chicago Music Exchange’s all-new proprietary Fender "Full Dip" pickups. Taking their name from the time- honored way of ordering an Italian beef sandwich in the City of Big Shoulders, these pickups are sonically inspired by decades of experience listening to our customers' needs, dissecting vintage instruments, and working alongside the experts at Fender Custom Shop. “Full Dip” pickups begin with Fender's Vintera II recipe, but add two essential ingredients. First, Alnico 2 magnets tame harsh frequencies, smoothing out the EQ and allowing the notes to bloom. Second—because an Italian beef isn't complete without the giardiniera—we overwound the coils by 5% to add the necessary heat and grit to cut through any mix. To expand these palettes further, each model is equipped with a special circuit modification to unlock tonal options otherwise not available with standard wiring. Experience Player II Series instruments that could only come from a collaboration between Fender and Chicago Music Exchange.
