The first instruments to bear the Squier name were introduced in 1982, answering the call for genuine Fender designs at accessible prices. The Squier 40th Anniversary collection celebrates the 40-year journey of Fender’s entry-level brand with special editions of the Telecaster, Stratocaster, Jazzmaster, Precision Bass, and Jazz Bass, all available in Gold Edition and Vintage Edition variants.
The Squier 40th Anniversary Jazzmaster, Gold Edition is a stylish model adorned with an eye-catching collection of upscale features for the discerning Squier fanatic.
