Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster in Dark Night.

Description

Sleeker, refined and simply better than ever the American Professional II Jazzmaster range is another leap forward for Fender, introducing all new features such as rolled edge fretboards, a Super Natural neck finish and improved V-Mod II pickups.

The Jazzmaster is your go-to offset guitar. Its dripping in alternative style and boasts a host of luscious finishes. Players after something a little different to the norm will find the American Pro II Jazzmaster an extremely enticing prospect.

Supreme construction

Its a case of little changes coming together to make a big difference here. The Jazzmaster is made of a sturdy alder body with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, enhanced by the all-rounder deep C neck shape and new rolled fretboard edges. Its a supreme addition, making transition up and down the neck that bit smoother.

Things only get better with the Super Natural satin neck finish, doing its part to keep your fretting hand moving freely without sticking as you might find with a gloss layer.

Panorama Tremolo system

Vibrato is a huge draw for the Jazzmaster and its been improved for the American Pro II. The Panorama tremolo system drastically increases vibrato range, allowing for the reach of a dramatic Strat style dive on top of the classic Jazzmaster warble.

Sound

No doubt, the original V-Mod pickups sounded fantastic. But Fender have yet again raised the bar, enhancing them to deliver even more articulation and sweeter harmonics. The V-Mod II single coils designed specifically for the Jazzmaster are beautifully chimey and well-defined.

Youre still getting classic Jazzmaster versatility thanks to lead and rhythm circuit controls, as well as thumbwheel volume and tone dials when your set the pickups into series mode essentially recreating a thick humbucker punch.
