Featuring an 18V active 3-band EQ and dual Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups, the Fender American Elite Jazz Bass combines advanced electronics with a compound-radius neck, improved heel contour, and hi-mass vintage-style bridge for a progressive take on the timeless tone and feel of the classic Jazz Bass.
About Fender American Elite:
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.
The Fender American Elite Series means what it says: Elite. That means elite upgrades to iconic Fender construction. New compound neck profiles with rounded heels maximize playability. The new bridge increased sustain and response and redesigned body contours and exclusive colors look and feel good in the hand, because these are no ordinary electric guitars. These are Fender American Elite.
