Fender Custom Shop '65 Jazzmaster DLX Closet Classic, Super Faded Aged Blue Ice Metallic - Ex Demo Overview
The Fender Custom Shop '65 Jazzmaster DLX Closet Classic is a refined take on a mid '60s offset icon, combining vintage spec with subtle ageing and premium Custom Shop craftsmanship. Finished in Super Faded Aged Blue Ice Metallic, it delivers a softly worn aesthetic that feels broken-in without heavy relic treatment. The 2-piece alder body keeps the tone balanced and resonant, while the nitro lacquer finish allows the guitar to breathe naturally, giving you a lively, responsive feel whether you're playing clean passages or pushing into more driven textures.
A custom '62-style maple neck is paired with a AAA rosewood fingerboard, offering a smooth, familiar feel shaped to a comfortable vintage profile. The 7.25 inch radius and medium vintage frets stay true to period-correct specifications, giving chords a natural feel while still allowing controlled bends. Loaded with Custom Shop Jazzmaster pickups featuring flat magnets, it delivers warm, rounded lows, clear mids, and shimmering highs. With classic controls, vintage-style hardware, and a deluxe case included, this is a premium offset built for players who want authentic tone, feel, and Custom Shop detail in every note.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionCloset Classic finish with subtle ageing
The DLX Closet Classic finish gives this Jazzmaster a lightly aged appearance that captures the look of a well-preserved vintage instrument. Rather than heavy wear, it features gentle fading and soft checking that add character without making the guitar feel overly distressed. The Super Faded Aged Blue Ice Metallic finish stands out visually, offering a unique take on a classic Fender colour while still maintaining a vintage-inspired vibe. It’s ideal if you want something that looks broken-in but still clean enough to feel like a carefully kept original.
Classic Jazzmaster tone with flat magnets
The Custom Shop Jazzmaster pickups in this model use flat magnets, delivering a tone that stays true to mid '60s specifications. You get a warm, rounded low end, detailed mids, and a clear, slightly airy top end that works beautifully for clean tones and textured sounds. These pickups respond well to dynamics, letting you shape your tone through touch as much as controls. Whether you’re playing ambient passages, indie rhythms, or more driven sounds, they keep everything articulate and full without becoming harsh.
Vintage feel with comfortable neck profile
The neck is based on a '62 Jazzmaster profile, offering a comfortable, slightly fuller shape that sits naturally in the hand. The AAA rosewood fingerboard adds a smooth feel and a touch of warmth to the overall response, balancing the snap of the maple neck. With a 7.25 inch radius and medium vintage frets, it stays close to traditional Fender playability, making chord work feel natural while still allowing for controlled lead playing across the neck.
Premium build and period-correct details
Every element of this guitar reflects the attention to detail expected from the Fender Custom Shop. From the nitrocellulose lacquer finish to the vintage-style hardware and nylon string tree, it’s built to match the feel and performance of a mid '60s original. The adjustable Jazzmaster bridge provides stable intonation, while the overall construction ensures reliable tuning and consistent performance. Combined with its unique finish and classic design, it’s a standout instrument for players who want authenticity with a refined Custom Shop edge.
