Description: FREEDOM CUSTOM GUITAR RESEARCH Custom Order RS JM Alder Rosewood All Lacquer Old Lake Placid Blue #1644L All Lacquer Description 0% commission! Some items may not be eligible.Ours is a custom-ordered JM with materials selected at Freedom's workshop.I usually do a lot of custom work, such as using Jacaranda fingerboards and relic processing, but this time, while following the basic specifications, I selected an all-lacquer with antique processing that also reproduced the wood selection and color unevenness. Specifications: I ordered a Fender head with a modified 60's U neck shape.The concept of this order is not to make the highest quality guitar, but rather to create the best sound possible at a price that is realistically affordable, without making too many changes to the standard specs that Freedom considers to be "good specs." It was produced with the concept of pursuing good looks.One of the things I was concerned about when playing Freedom guitars was the feeling that the urethane coating suppressed the noise.The characteristics of this urethane coating are very compatible with high-end guitar type models such as Hydra, and it is a spec that I would actually recommend, but I personally feel that urethane coating is a little strange when aiming for a vintage type sound. There was a feeling of discomfort.The gorgeous sound of the entire wood produced by lacquer coating is something that cannot be experienced with urethane coating, and this is a point that cannot be compromised on in the pursuit of vintage sound.Therefore, this time I made it entirely with lacquer.We are very particular about the look of this product, and it is inspired by the so-called 1959-1962 slab board era Jazzmas.Until recently, Freedom's Jazzmas could only be made with the FCGR original head shape, but the F head was finally released, so this time we made it with the F head specification.An important point to remember when talking about Freedom's Jazzmas is the original low-cut switch circuit.Freedom's original low-cut switch transforms the original inconvenience of Jazzmas into an easy-to-use guitar.The details are summarized in a separate section, so please check there, but my personal recommendation for this individual is to set the front low cut to MAX, and the rear low cut to about 2 on the scale. We highly recommend halftone.By reducing the too thick front sound to just the right thickness and combining it with the rear without sacrificing the bass attack, the result is an exquisite tone that solidifies the entire sound with the thickness of the rear and exudes sex appeal with the sweetness of the front.Below are the points to keep in mind when ordering.woodThe materials selected at the workshop this time are body material, neck material, and fingerboard material.We had previously prepared a relatively lightweight alder material for the body, but we selected a material that has a particularly good sound and excellent weight balance.Regarding the rosewood fingerboard material, we selected a certain amount of rosewood that has a hard, clear sound that responds well to finger tapping, and then selected a material with a dark color.The neck has a hard grain, and we have selected a high-density neck material.Normally, straight-grained necks are preferred by music store personnel and customers alike, but when it comes to sound, there is an overwhelming tendency for a straight-grained neck to have a better sound.Therefore, we selected a material that has a solid sound among Freedom's wide range of neck materials. neckThe neck shape is a slightly thicker Freedom 60'sU shape, the fingerboard radius is 184R, and the 22nd fret uses Freedom's original stainless steel frets Warm04.The reason why the frets are made of stainless steel instead of nickel is to obtain smooth bending and vibrato, but if the stainless steel smell comes out, the goodness of jazz music will be halved.Therefore, we selected Freedom's original stainless steel fret "Warm", which has the same playability as stainless steel, but has the same sound as nickel frets.I had a lot of trouble deciding whether to go for a regular U-shape (slightly narrower) or a thicker neck shape, but this time I decided to go with a 60's U-shape neck with an emphasis on sound.The 60 sU shape has a slightly thicker neck, giving it a thicker feel.The neck is extremely playable, as it has an exquisite thickness that fits in your hand, but what I place more importance on is the firmness and core of the sound that comes from the thickness of the neck. .This time, we were producing with an emphasis on sound, so we adopted this neck shape in search of a sound with a three-dimensional feel that is more centered in the mids.In addition, regarding the number of frets, we ordered it with 22F specifications considering that it will be used in contemporary music.A studio musician who had previously purchased a 21F specification Jazzmass that we had previously ordered requested an extension to the 22F, so we decided to make Freedom's JM a 22F specification in order to make the guitar more user-friendly. I made it. Electrical systemJazzmasters usually use a preset switch, but not many Jazzmaster users use this feature.Freedom has been significantly elevated into a practical guitar by rearranging the unnecessary switch to a completely different function.The new feature is a "low cut switch".The Jazzmaster's strength, but also its weakness, is the thickness of its sound.Although he is a jazz master who is active in various genres including rock, there are times when his thickness gets in the way of the band, and there are many situations where he does not match the style of the song or play.Freedom has solved these problems by being equipped with a low-cut switch.Although it is a low-cut switch, it does not cut the bass with an on-off operation like Fender's Jaguar.Unlimited low-cut adjustment is possible by turning the knob corresponding to each pickup.This is a dream-like function that will make your wishes come true, such as wanting to reduce the bass a little or make the sound as sharp as a Strat.This custom-order Jazzmaster was created by combining the standard specs that Freedom, who has the highest level of skill among domestic brands, and the specs that we really wanted to stick to, has top-class quality compared to guitars in the same price range. It has become the best individual I have.If you are looking for the best Jazzmaster, whether made domestically or overseas, this is the one you should try.Color BlueManufacture year 2023Optional items Custom made to orderpickup passivePickup configuration 2SNumber of frets: 22 fretsneck scale longWeight 3.89kgBody material AlderTremolo floating typeFingerboard material rosewoodNeck joint detachable bolt-onNeck material mapleaccessories ** This product is brand new item.
