Like the other guitars that are part of the American Ultra family, the Fender American Ultra Jazzmaster takes an icon of guitar design and reimagines it for the contemporary guitarist. Packed with a wide-range of new ideas and refinements of old standards, the American Ultra Jazzmaster is the result of a design process that sought to redefine the instrument while remaining distinctly Fender.

Reimagined for performance and comfort

Taking the ground-breaking offset body shape of the Jazzmaster and updating it for adventurous modern guitarists challenged Fender to dig deep. The Fender American Ultra Jazzmaster is the result and it's well worth the time and energy it took. The eye-catching new finishes and bound compound-radius rosewood fingerboard create a look of both luxury and excitement. The slim, fast Modern D profile neck features a new satin finish that provides almost a raw wood feel, and Fender's tapered neck heel delivers unprecedented upper fret access.

Adding tone with new electronics

The electronics package take a big forward step, with re-voiced and redesigned Ultra Noiseless Jazzmaster single coils that provide smooth articulation while packing a punch. The controls include an S1 switch on a push/pull pot to control series/parallel pickup wiring and a new phase circuit that dramatically increases your range of tonal options. A re-engineered version of the classic Jazzmaster locking tremolo system adds the perfect surf shimmer and bounce, while Fender's sealed locking tuners keep tuning tight. You've never played a Jazzmaster like this one, and once you pick it up you'll understand why it's "Ultra." The Fender American Ultra Jazzmaster comes with Fender's deluxe molded hardshell case.

Developing the new classics

Fender's American Ultra instruments were more than two years in development. Intended from the beginning to push the envelope while remaining distinctively Fender. They are the most advanced production guitars Fender has ever made outside of the Custom Shop. Boasting new pickup designs, modern profile necks, compound-radius, premium rolled-edge fingerboards on the Strat and Tele models, and a revolutionary new neck joint, the entire series delivers an amazing playing experience and an expanded tonal range. If you were a Fender fan before, these will be love at first play, and if you weren't, these might be the guitars to change your mind.
