Sound Pure's Take

This Classic JM is built from an alder body and a roasted maple neck, and with an aged lacquer finish, it feels like it has a lifetime of stories to tell. The Indian rosewood fingerboard, with its compound radius and stainless steel frets, provides a silky-smooth playing experience, while the Suhr Locking tuners and Mastery Tremolo bridge ensure rock-solid stability and endless sustain. The Classic JM pickups and Active SSCII Noise Cancellation keep your tone pure and pristine, so you can focus on making music. This isn't just an instrument; it's an heirloom waiting to be played, a truly custom creation built for the ages and ready to unlock your creative potential!
