Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Black Paisley Jazz Bass Relic

*The photos shown here are the first of two that we ordered. The incoming one will look very similar and we’ll update the photos when it arrives.

This Limited Edition Jazz Bass from the Fender Custom Shop is one of the most unique builds we’ve seen in a long time. It pairs classic ‘64 Jazz Bass specs with a bold black paisley finish, a matching paisley headstock and pickguard, and tasteful relic work throughout. The result is a visually striking, great-playing instrument with all the feel and tone you’d expect from a top-tier Custom Shop bass.
