Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster
Avg price: $2,300.00
"To coincide with the supporting tour for the band’s upcoming May 29 album How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, Ackroyd selected a new custom-modified American Vintage Jazzmaster."
Modifications include:
- Custom hand-wound pickups made by Fender Master Builder Dennis Galuszka
"The ones that are in the Jazzmaster now have that warm, rounded bell tone. It’s so clean straightaway, and they react incredibly well with the pedals and the E-bow, as well. Playing it through a Hot Rod DeVille really suits the guitar. You can get that lovely rhythm sound and then dig in for that great bite."

"The matching headstock was a dream to have. Fender put out a reissue of the ’65 Jazzmaster with a matching headstock and I was after that. It looks incredible, so we did something a little more personal. I gave [Florence Welch] the option of baby blue or powder pink, and pink won out. It’s just trying to play a guitar that no one else has."
