Up for sale, a 1996 Fender Mini Guitar series JM-Champ Jazzmaster model JM-CH 450 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced in Japan exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, this seldom-seen “Made in Japan” mini Jazzmaster features a diminutive basswood body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, while retaining a full 24” scale length.

Via the humbucker, the JM-Champ can operate via the built-in speaker or standard 1/4“ output jack. The three-way mini toggle for the speaker selects between Off, On, and Distortion, offering a barking clean response in the On position, while the Distortion mode unleashes unruly overdrive. Featherweight at 6lbs 7oz, this JM-Champ has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
