Fuzzblaster II

The du Pre Guitars Fuzzblaster modernises, upgrades and simplifies FenderŪ's Jazzmaster whilst adding some chic retro charm. Top drawer components are used throughout from the super smooth tuners to the eye catching and radically retro "Wigsby" vibrato unit. This is a full bore tone machine with good and fat P90 pickups providing the backbone of the tone and top quality hardware transferring all the good vibrations into the tonewoods. This is a guitar that was made to be played.
