A beautiful Japan limited Noir Jazzmaster.
They call it the MIJ Noir Series, and it comprises a Telecaster, Stratocaster, Jazzmaster and Jazz Bass. The new limited edition models come hot on the heels of MIJ Hybrid II Strats in some super-smart and hitherto hard to come by colour finishes, and they all share a number of features in common.
Bodies are fashioned from alder and finished in a satin urethane finish. Necks are maple, bolted on, shaped into a Modern C profile and topped with 9.5” radius rosewood fingerboards.
The electrics have a 25.5” scale length and 22 narrow tall frets. The Jazz Bass has 21 and a scale length of 34”. Nuts are synthetic bone and the hardware is black nickel.
The pickups are all custom voiced for the Noir models, which is a similar story to the other models in the Hybrid II family. The Strat has a trio of single-coils, a five-way selector switch, one volume and two tone pots. The Tele has two single-coils, a three-way switch, volume and tone.
The Jazzmaster has the familiar pairing of over-sized single-coils at neck and bridge positions, but it has a scaled-down switching configuration, with a three-way pickup selector mounted on the shoulder where the Rhythm Circuit controls would be on an old-school model, plus volume and tone controls to dial in a sound.
