In July 2007, Fender released the
J Mascis signature Jazzmaster, in honour of theDinosaur Jr frontman. This model is much the same as previous Jazzmaster models aside from its Adjust-o-matic bridge (the Fender equivalent of the GibsonTune-o-matic bridge), and its unusual purple sparkle finish. It is currently the only model of Jazzmaster in production with a matching headstock, and the only Jazzmaster model produced for a signature guitarist, besides the soon-to-be-released "Elvis Costello" Signature Jazzmaster
