Fender Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster Oxblood Overview
Fender Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster Oxblood Product Overview
Well back into the 1990s and right up to this day, Troy Van Leeuwen has contributed deftly textural guitar work and atmospherics to some of alt-heavy rock's most acclaimed and forward-thinking bands. From the influential '90s alternative of Failure to A Perfect Circle, Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal, Puscifer and others, Van Leeuwen's multi-instrumental expertise has given great colour and power to a great deal of very creative rock music.
The Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster guitar is as distinctive as the sounds he wrings from it. Its gloss Oxblood finish with a four-ply red tortoiseshell pickguard is darkly alluring, with the interestingly contrasting touch of two white "witch hat" control knobs. The dual tone circuits (lead, rhythm) use a two-way toggle switch on the upper horn rather than the customary slider switch, and the brass-saddle Mustang bridge is combined with a Jazzmaster tailpiece. Other features include a maple neck with "C"-shaped profile and heel-end truss rod adjustment, 7.25" radius bound rosewood fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets and
