Description
While originally designed to appeal to jazz players, the Jazzmaster quickly found a home with rock and rollers who craved unique features and an unmistakable vibe. That rebellious spirit is alive and well in the Fender American Performer Jazzmaster, equipped with dual Yosemite single-coil pickups featuring flat-staggered pole pieces and Greasebucket circuitry for rich, dynamic tone, as well as additional push-pull tone control to activate the neck pickup no matter your switching position. The solid maple neck is carved to a “Modern C” profile and features a 22-fret, 9.5-radius rosewood fingerboard that comfortably suits virtually any playing style, especially those big benders, and the traditional Jazzmaster bridge and tailpiece have been swapped out for a Strat-style six-screw vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge.
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 Performer Series makes American-made quality accessible to every player. Six new models, handcrafted in Corona, California, highlight the traditional design of Fender’s most celebrated guitars, while adding new innovations and modern components to enhance tone, performance, and feel.
