Will Farquarson's Jazzmaster delivers the bright, jangly single-coil tone that cuts through Bastille's synth-heavy arrangements without muddiness, letting every pick attack and dynamic detail remain transparent even under heavy reverb and delay processing. The offset body's natural midrange presence and vibrato system make it ideal for electronic pop productions where guitars must sit cleanly alongside dense digital textures.
