Bootstrap "Lake Surfer™" for Jazzmaster®

Regular price $49.99 $0.00

Five hundred miles from saltwater on Ohio's northern shore is the last place you'd expect to find a dedicated surfing community. Every year though, when the weather is just right, the swells come rolling into the shores of Lake Erie, and a few enthusiastic souls grab their boards. The perfect conditions can happen anytime, even in the freezing dead of winter, but that's not a problem: The lake surfers just grab their wetsuits.

Our Lake Surfer™ set for Jazzmaster® is a bit of an offbeat take on the classic tone. They've got the big, full, classic tone you expect, but with a bit more clarity, brightness and a dash more sparkle. This makes for a pup set that's versatile enough for a rock or blues workhorse, but ready to deliver that iconic surf tone when the conditions are just right and it's time to hit the waves.

Under the Hood:

  • Forbon® vulcanized fiber bobbins
  • 42AWG copper wire with ruby enamel insulation
  • ALNICO 5 poles
  • Vintage push-back cloth leads for easy wiring
  • Lightly potted in paraffin and beeswax
  • Light scatterwind for clarity
  • ~7.8kOhm Neck, 9.5kOhm Bridge*
