The Fender JV Modified '60s Custom Telecaster has a resonant basswood body and is double bound for a touch of elegance. Its dual single-coil pickups are voiced to deliver classic Tele tone. A 4-way switch allows players to quickly select each pickup individually or both pickups in either series or parallel wiring. A push-pull pot on the tone control allows players to flip the pickups in and out of phase in switch positions 2 and 4. The Soft "V"-shaped maple neck has a silky-smooth satin finish and plays effortlessly thanks to the 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets.

For the player seeking classic Fender instruments with a twist, the JV Modified Series delivers a unique combination of vintage Fender style and modern playability.

The Fender JV Modified Series combines classic aesthetics with modern playability to suit the needs of today's guitarist. Taking cues from the now highly sought-after "Japanese Vintage" reissues from the early '80s, JV Modified guitars are a refined take on a modern classic.

I'll start with the neck:Mine is quarter-sawn with perfect vertical grain running the entire length. The satin V shape is a revelation. I've never owned a v neck but I instantly understand the appeal. The rosewood fretboard looks well conditioned. It's nicely streaked. It has the appearance of being a pretty thick slab. The fretwork is smooth and comfortable. Almost everything about the guitar is great. I'm not sure if push/pull pots are always so loose to turn, but next to the obviously high quality and well tensioned feel of the volume pot, it's strange. I'm sure it's the same quality, just feels so different. That's the only thing that resembles a complaint, and it's not even a negative, just an observation. It sounds just like what I've been missing all these years without a Tele. I was considering buying some pickups but after hearing these in person, I don't think I need to spend that money. The bridge pickup has staggered pole pieces. In videos, the JVM 50's tele appears to have flat pole pieces. So take that into consideration. The staggered is more my sound.
