Fender American Professional Jazzmaster Electric Guitar Black

Fender American Professional Jazzmaster®

The Fender American Professional Jazzmaster® draws from more than sixty years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today's working player. Combining the unmistakable character of the Jazzmaster with modern enhancements, this versatile instrument offers exceptional playability, expanded tonal options and professional-grade performance.

The comfortable Deep "C" neck profile features smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a silky Super-Natural satin finish and a sculpted neck heel for effortless access across the entire fretboard. Designed for players who demand both comfort and speed, the neck feels instantly familiar while offering a refined modern playing experience.

A pair of V-Mod III Jazzmaster single-coil pickups deliver enhanced articulation, clarity and dynamic response while retaining the signature sparkle, warmth and chime that have made the Jazzmaster a favourite for decades. The bridge pickup features a tap function, allowing players to switch between a powerful, high-output voice and a lower-output vintage-inspired tone for added flexibility.

The innovative rhythm circuit places both pickups in series at the flick of a switch, creating a thicker, fuller sound with increased output. Independent roller volume and tone controls provide further tonal shaping options, making the American Professional Jazzmaster one of the most versatile offset guitars Fender has ever produced.

For expressive playing, the Panorama® Jazzmaster Tremolo system offers everything from subtle vibrato to dramatic pitch modulation, while the ClassicGear™ J-Bridge enhances tuning stability, sustain and intonation without sacrificing the classic Jazzmaster feel.

Blending vintage inspiration with contemporary performance features, the American Professional Jazzmaster® delivers the tone, feel and reliability demanded by today's musicians.
