Versatility Is The Key

Despite its ergonomic offset-waist body design being ideal for players who preferred to sit down, that doesn't mean you can't rock out on a Jazzmaster!

In fact: it's incredible weighting and balance make it a brilliant stage guitar for virtually any style.

In addition to this, the all-Rosewood neck and fingerboard has been carved with a Modern Deep "C" profile shape, offering a comfortable playing experience to anyone who picks it up.

The Jazzmasters Amazing Party Piece

The tremolo system is and always has been one of the major selling points of the Stratocaster. The Jazzmaster and Jaguar guitars however have vastly different systems to that of the Strat and this is where the magic lies.

You may notice that the tremolo arm is positioned before the end of the string run as apposed to the usual bridge attachment.

This is an incredible bit of design work at hand which many players actually miss out on, as the system is not as visible as a Stratocaster tremolo. Usually when you break a string on a Stratocaster, the entire guitar goes out of tune.

Well thats not the case with the Jazzmaster.

A nifty button at the front of the tremolo, slides forward to engage the 'trem block'. This locks the Tremolo height into place so that even in the event of string breakage, your guitar will not go out of tune!

We don't need to tell you how effective this can be in a gigging situation.

Pure Vintage Pickups

Sitting at the neck and bridge positions on this guitar's body you'll find a set of Pure Vintage '65 Single-Coil Jazzmaster pickups.

These pickups are specially made to help revisit the awesome voice of the original Jazzmaster guitars, with a tone that sits somewhere between a Humbucker and Single Coil pickup in terms of characteristics.

If you yearning for a pickup that offers the rich nuances of a humbucker, combined with the articulation of a single coil, then these pickups will deliver.

Treble Bleed Circuit

It's all fine and good that Fender have created incredible pickups, but does this new Jazzmaster fully take advantage of them?

Well thanks to radical new 'Treble-Bleed' circuity, these pickups can sing their finest song without even a shred of tone loss.

This new circuitry makes use of the very best transistors and capacitors to ensure that when you turn your guitars volume down, no brightness or attack is lost within the circuit.

This is a huge innovation in its own right and will be instantly noticeable to players when they experience the versatility that comes from being able to clean up dirt tones and change the guitars entire dynamic just via subtle turns of a volume/tone control.

Hardshell Case

The Elite Molded Case features body-hugging contours to protect your cherished instrument, TSA latches for increased security and nested stacking ability for easy storage and secure transport.
