FENDER JAZZMASTER (SAPPHIRE BLUE)
   
Used by Lee: 2009

  • 2009 -- CGDCGD (What We Know)

    NOTES:

  • This is the prototype for Lee's custom signature Jazzmaster -- the only difference I see is that this one has a regular headstock where-as the finished model has a black headstock. Lee has used the prototype live, though I'm not sure where -- but he did use it for 'What We Know' on the Pitchfork A>D>D session (he used the 'finished' model for the remainder of the songs).
  • Sapphire Blue Transparent body
  • Black anodized aluminum pickguard
