Description
An icon of alternative rock, J Mascis? penchant for running Fender? guitars into stacks of amps to create massive fuzzy riffs, incendiary leads and huge hooks have made his work in Dinosaur Jr. and on solo records an indispensable part of rock history, influencing countless artists to follow.
The J Mascis Telecaster? recreates J?s favorite guitar, an original 1958 top-loader Tele?, with which he recorded most of his lead work throughout his career. Features include a Dazzling Bottle Rocket Blue Flake finish, mirrored chrome pickguard, custom J Mascis Telecaster pickups, top-loader bridge and Road Worn? maple neck and hardware.
Features:
- Bottle Rocket Blue Flake finish & mirror pickguard
- Custom J Mascis Telecaster Pickups
- Top-loader Bridge
- Custom J Mascis ?C? shape neck with Jumbo frets
- Road Worn? neck and hardware
Highlights:
- Recreates the iconic blue sparkle finish on J?s beloved refinished ?58 Telecaster.
- Voiced to replicate the vintage Tele pickups from J?s original guitar, these custom single-coils deliver the snappy highs and snarly mids that set J?s amp on fire.
- An uncommon configuration used briefly in the late fifties and early sixties, top-loaded Telecaster bridges provide slightly lower string tension for slinkier bends and softer attack perfect for rock?n?roll.
- Shaped to J?s specifications, this neck is comfortably thin with a satin finish that provides a smooth and easy playing experience.
- Our Road Worn? aging process adds tasteful wear to provide a well-loved look and feel.
- Just like J?s original guitar, the J Mascis Telecaster is equipped with a striking chrome mirror pickguard, making an unmistakable statement on stage or at home.
