The powerful Seymour Duncan® JB™ TB-4 humbucker in the bridge intensifies the Jazzmaster’s signature open tone, delivering a heavier, more aggressive sound. Coupled with a vintage-style floating tremolo, this instrument keeps the offset body design that defined the no wave and noise rock era.
Whether you’re exploring rich textures or raw dissonance, the Kim Gordon Jazzmaster® is engineered to push sonic boundaries with confidence and style.
