Updating the guitar of choice for some of the most progressive and forward-thinking players of the last 50-plus years is no easy task, but leave to it Fender to do it with style. The Fender American Professional Jazzmaster adds two V-Mod single-coil Jazzmaster pickups designed by Michael Frank, a new “deep C” neck profile, narrow tall frets, improved bridge, genuine bone nut and Treble Bleed circuitry to the left-of-center classic for a new sound and feel that’s more progressive than ever.
About Fender American Professional Series:
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
An extension of Fender’s flagship line of iconic electric guitars like the Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jaguar, Jazzmaster, and Jazz and Precision basses, the Fender American Professional series represents Fender’s diligent pursuit of perfection through reinvention. Revitalizing the American Standard series models with novel features like new neck profiles, fret sizing, genuine bone nuts, and pickup sets, American Pro is American Standard evolved.
