Matching headstock

Matching headstock

On some electric guitars of Fender the headstock is painted the same color as the body, this is called the matching headstock.

The Fender guitars have featured matching headstocks at several points, on and off, throughout the guitar's history. Matched-headstock versions generally fetch a higher price and are currently not in production, with one exception, a Jazzmaster.

Fender guitars with matching headstocks are:
* Fender Jaguar
* Fender Jazzmaster
* Fender Electric XII

And bass guitar:
* Fender Jazz Bass
* Fender Jaguar Bass

The sunburst editions of these guitars don't have a matching headstock.

The colors

* Candy Apple Red
* Hot Rod Red
* Olympic White
* Lake Placid Blue
* Black

J Mascis Jazzmaster

In July 2007, Fender released the J Mascis signature Jazzmaster, in honour of the Dinosaur Jr frontman. This model is much the same as previous Jazzmaster models aside from its Adjust-o-matic bridge (the Fender equivalent of the Gibson Tune-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
