  • The Fender Jazzmaster's bright single-coil pickups contribute to the jangly character.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Fender Jazzmaster or similar guitar with single-coil pickups.
  • Use a Roland JC-120 amplifier or a similar clean amp with a built-in chorus effect. Set the chorus to a moderate depth and rate for a subtle shimmering effect.
  • Alternatively, use a Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedal for a similar chorus effect if you don't have a JC-120.
  • Adjust the amp's EQ for a bright and clear tone, focusing on the high frequencies to enhance the jangle.
  • Experiment with the guitar's tone controls to fine-tune the brightness and clarity of the sound.
