The Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster represents an evolution of the classic offset guitar, with updates that enhance its sound and feel while retaining its distinctive character. Powered by V-Mod II Jazzmaster pickups, the American Pro II Jazzmaster produces the sparkling chime Jazzmasters are known for, with greater clarity and articulation. Its Deep C-shaped maple neck has smoothly rolled edges for supreme comfort during long playing sessions. The American Professional II Jazzmaster's Panorama tremolo expands the guitar's vibrato range, allowing for deep dives or vintage warble at your command. An ingenious rhythm circuit puts both pickups in series at the flip of a switch, for a thicker, higher output tone. From its gloss urethane-finished alder body to its narrow-tall frets, the American Professional II Jazzmaster offers the perfect blend of timeless vibe and modern playability.

V-Mod II Jazzmaster Pickups With Increased Clarity and Articulation

The American Professional II Jazzmaster gets its classic Jazzmaster tone from a pair of V-Mod II Jazzmaster single-coil pickups. V-Mod II pickups incorporate carefully chosen materials and winding specs, resulting in pickups with greater clarity and definition compared to vintage Jazzmaster pickups. You'll hear enhanced top-end sparkle and chime from the neck pickup, while the bridge pickup has a bold, throaty growl when soloed. The American Professional II Jazzmaster gives you the archetypal Jazzmaster sound you know and love, taken to new heights.

Deep C Neck Profile With Rolled Fingerboard Edges for Comfort

The American Professional II Jazzmaster features Fender's popular Deep C-shaped neck profile, which feels substantial without being bulky. Fender went a step further by adding smoothly rolled fingerboard edges, which makes playing chords and fast leads up and down the neck a breeze. The back of the neck has a satin urethane finish that enhances playing comfort. Combined with its contoured neck heel for easy upper fret access, the American Professional II Jazzmaster's thoughtfully sculpted maple neck makes playing this iconic guitar feel better than ever.

Panorama Tremolo Expands Expressive Capabilities

This updated take on the Jazzmaster gets expressive new tremolo possibilities from the Panorama tremolo system. The Panorama trem allows for deep, Strat-like dives in addition to the trademark warble Jazzmasters are known for. Its pop-in tremolo arm is easy to engage when you want it without getting in the way. Combined with the American Professional II Jazzmaster's brass Mustang saddles, you get exceptional tuning stability no matter how wild you get with the whammy bar. The Panorama tremolo takes the Jazzmaster's vibrato to the next level.

Rhythm Circuit Engages Both Pickups

Just like the original Jazzmaster, the American Professional II Jazzmaster has a rhythm circuit, activated by a slider switch above the neck pickup. This ingenious circuit bypasses the 3-way pickup switch and volume/tone knobs and instead puts both the neck and bridge pickups in series. The result is a darker, thicker tone, with boosted output. Dedicated volume and tone knobs for the rhythm circuit let you shape this voice to your liking. Flip the switch back up and you return to the standard controls. The rhythm circuit expands this legendary guitar's tonal palette.

Resonant Alder Body

The American Professional II Jazzmaster gets its balanced, resonant tone from a solid alder body finished in smooth gloss urethane. Alder has long been a favorite body wood of Fender's for its impressive tonal properties—bright and snappy when you dig in, with rich lows and excellent sustain. Combined with the American Professional II Jazzmaster's comfortable Deep C neck and versatile electronics, you have an inspiring instrument, equally suited to nailing vintage Jazzmaster tones or creating new sounds.
