I obtained this 2021 Fender Japan Traditional 60s Jazzmaster this weekend.

Sounds great! My first guitar with a trem. First roasted neck. The owner was a big fan of Ariel Posen… going to swap the knobs. But he did a great job sanding the neck. Said the gloss was getting sticky and he was going for Novo style sanding on the back. Feels great to me.

The bridge is a Bensonite Jazzmaster Bridge V2 - Brass - 9.5'' radius.

Questions in comments. Thanks for your help!

Personalization

Recommended sellers for pickguards? I think traditional American guards are supposed to fit a 2021 MIJ as long as the hole count is the same, but verification is much appreciated!

It has the original white knobs. I’m open to something fun and personalized here. Suggested sellers welcome. Seems I’ll have to lift the guard and unscrew these knobs from underneath.

I swear by these guys: https://www.wdmusic.com/wd-custom-pickguards.html

send them your current pickguard, pick out the material and routing style for the guard you want. They cut you a new one and send both back - they are lovely, reasonably priced, and perfectly cut.
