Left-handers rejoice: these gorgeous Fender offsets bring Japanese build quality to southpaws

Chicago Music Exchange has announced the release of an exclusive collection of left-handed Fender Made In Japan Traditional Series offset electric guitars.

The southpaw-focused collection boasts lefty ‘60s Jazzmaster, ‘60s Jaguar and ‘60s Mustang models, offering players the opportunity to get their left-handed paws on affordable Fender offsets.

The Fender MIJ Traditional 60s Lefty Jazzmaster boasts a vintage-style floating tremolo system, Alnico single-coil pickups and a 25.5”-scale neck, while the MIJ Traditional 60s Lefty Mustang is modeled after the “extra-hot” ‘65 Mustang and is built to virtually the same specs, including the decal with patent number, aged button “F” tuners, period-correct plastics, grey fiber-bottom alnico magnet pole piece and a vintage-style tremolo.

The MIJ Traditional 60s Lefty Jaguar, meanwhile, sports a 22-fret short-scale neck, unique control set, floating tremolo system, and dual Alnico single-coils modeled after the original Jaguar pickups.
