The American Professional Jazzmaster features Fender's popular Deep C-Shaped neck with smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a Super-Natural satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. New V-Mod III Jazzmaster Pickups are more articulate than ever while delivering the sparkle and chime the Jazzmaster is known for. The bridge pickup has a tap function that allows both a powerful, throaty sound or a lower-output vintage sound. At the flip of a switch, the rhythm circuit puts both pickups in series for a thicker tone with increased output, controlled by independent volume and tone roller pots. From classic Jazzmaster warble to deep, Strat-style dives, the Panorama Tremolo system with pop-in arm puts the full range of expressive vibrato at your fingertips, while the ClassicGear J-Bridge keeps every note locked in with superior intonation, stability and tone.V-MOD III PickupsV-Mod III Pickups are voiced specifically for each position, slightly overwound for punch and presence, yet retaining vintage warmth and clarity.
