I noticed a spelling mistake on the fender website a few weeks back and emailed them. They said they would pass it on the the web team..... still there.
Master built Jazzmsater bridge according to the spec.

Could be worse....

Anyone interested in a master built jizzmaster?

I went and has a look through the pics on their site.. This line can be seen on several models... So actually I think its either really bad artwork or very unfortunate lighting or possibly both.

This, either some horrible template/photoshop action to cover the s/n or part of the lighting rig

It doesn't look like the sort of reflection a lighting rig would cast - unless the finish has some seriously bad orange peel!

If it's a photoshop template then their ad artist needs sacking/shooting or some other such action...
