DAZZLING BOTTLE ROCKET BLUE FLAKE FINISH
Recreates the iconic blue sparkle finish on Js beloved refinished 58 Telecaster.
CUSTOM J MASCIS TELECASTER PICKUPS
Voiced to replicate the vintage Tele pickups from Js original guitar, these custom single-coils deliver the snappy highs and snarly mids that set Js amp on fire.
TOP-LOADER TELECASTER BRIDGE
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 rocknroll.
CUSTOM J MASCIS C NECK
Shaped to Js specifications, this neck is comfortably thin with a satin finish that provides a smooth and easy playing experience.
ROAD WORNŽ NECK AND HARDWARE
Our Road WornŽ ageing process adds tasteful wear to provide a well-loved look and feel.
CHROME MIRROR PICKGUARD
Just like Js original guitar, the J Mascis Telecaster is equipped with a striking chrome mirror pickguard, making an unmistakable statement on stage or at home.
