Here for sale we have a Freshman FJ2 Archtop electric guitar in 3-Tone Sunburst finish. Made in China, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising Laminated Maple back and sides, Laminated Flame Maple top, a Maple neck and 20 fret Rosewood fingerboard. A staggered tailpiece has been fitted, along with Nickel Kluson-style tuning machines. Two humbucking pickups have been installed that are wired to two independent volume controls, two independent tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector.

 

The Maple neck plays well, with a profile that might be described as a thick 'D' shape that fills the hand nicely for a vintage inspired playing experience and substantial grip in all registers. The glossy finish to the rear assists with smooth navigation of the 24.75" scale. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its 16" radius feels notably flat under the fingers, making it perfectly suited to smooth jazzy lead lines. The cutaway enhances access to the upper register, meaning you can make use of all 20 frets with ease. 

 

The tone of the Freshman FJ2 is smooth, dark and precise, just as you would expect from a clearly jazz-inspired instrument. The two humbucking pickups installed make your jazzy chord voicings sound lush and distinct without being too harsh. There is plenty of definition for lead lines, with a responsive attack that manages to remain smooth. The controls are incredibly simple but offer the player plenty of scope for tone shaping right on the guitar. An affordable yet well appointed jazz guitar.

 

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
