Made in Mexico, the reasonably priced Noventa series adds P90 pickups to the Stratocaster and Telecaster. The Tele model, in particular, impressed us with its super-clean layout, single P90 and some nice finishes. What about the Jazzmaster? Fender has dumped three in there for even more chewy 90 goodness.

As Fender is celebrating its 75th birthday this year, it would be silly not to expect a limited edition release marking the occasion. Fender has chosen to produce two different runs here, a pricier version in 2-tone Bourbon Burst with gold hardware and a more affordable series made in Mexico featuring a satin Silver finish. The Bourbon Burst Tele certainly caught our eye…

Hi there,
A traditional Jazzmaster does not have P90 pickups. Jazzmaster pickups are different than P90s. Just thought I’d point that out, as your blurb on the Noventa series indicates P90s on a JM is normal.
You’re absolutely right, I’ve amended the text. Thanks for pointing that out!
You bet, thanks for summing up the Fender news.
I love the P90 sound! Did the original JM have P100’s?
