They are back — the cool and wonderfully weird guitars of the Parallel Universe series!! With the Spark-O-Matic Jazzmaster from the Parallel Universe II series, Fender has another cool guitar in its range. Visually, the Spark-O-Matic looks like a wild mix of Jazzmaster and Non Reverse Firebird. The body is 3 parts: a mahogany middle part with attached, chamfered ash wings. The hardware corresponds to the current Jazzmaster guitars — but in terms of electronics, the Spark-O-Matic goes completely different ways: 3 Seymour Duncan Firebird mini humbuckers provide powerful sound — brilliant and with great output.
