Fender Jazzmaster American Professional, RW Black

An American Jazzmaster designed for today’s demands

This American Professional Jazzmaster is part of more than sixty years of evolution of one of the most distinctive electric guitar models. Retaining the iconic offset silhouette, characteristic vibrato and clear tone that have made the Jazzmaster famous, it modernizes the essential elements to meet the needs of stage and studio musicians.

Its approach combines the model’s historic identity with decidedly modern improvements: a more ergonomic neck, easier access to the highest frets, expanded electronics and an optimized vibrato-bridge assembly. It is therefore aimed at guitarists looking for an expressive, reliable and immediately comfortable Jazzmaster, without giving up its sonic personality.

A versatile guitar for creative and demanding musicians

The American Professional Jazzmaster is particularly well suited to intermediate and advanced guitarists seeking a professional instrument, rich in nuances and comfortable to play during long sessions. Its Deep " C " neck provides a natural grip, while its " Super-Natural " satin finishing reduces the feeling of drag during rapid position changes.

It fits easily into indie rock, alternative rock, pop, shoegaze, surf music, funk, new wave and ambient music. Its Panorama Tremolo allows for both the subtle undulations typical of the Jazzmaster and broader effects, similar to certain vibrato dips associated with Strat-style guitars.

Jazzmaster chime, combining vintage clarity with controlled power

The alder body provides a balanced foundation, with present mids, defined lows and a dynamic response suited to single-coil pickups. Combined with the maple neck and rosewood key, it promotes a crisp attack while preserving a certain roundness in notes and chords. The long 25.5" / 648 mm scale length contributes to precise string tension and good definition, particularly for open rhythm parts.

The two V-Mod III Jazzmaster pickups deliver the sparkle, chime and breadth expected from a Jazzmaster, with articulation designed to remain clear in a mix. The bridge pickup can be modified using the push/push tone control: it offers a more powerful and denser register in standard operation, or a vintage response with reduced output when the function is activated.

The main circuit includes a master volume, a master tone and a three-way pickup selector. When the rhythm circuit is activated, the two pickups are wired in series to provide greater output, a thicker texture and a more muscular character. Its independent volume and tone wheel controls provide quick access to a second sonic color without changing the main circuit settings.

The Panorama Jazzmaster Tremolo system, paired with the ClassicGear J-Bridge, enhances playing stability and intonation while preserving the model’s distinctive expressive flexibility. The 22 narrow tall frets make bends and left-hand vibrato easier, while the bone nut contributes to a crisp attack and effective vibration transfer.

Recommended compatible accessories

To preserve the original setup, this guitar can be fitted with .009-.042 gauge electric guitar strings, matching the set installed at the factory. An electric guitar capo designed for a slightly curved key is also suited to the 9.5" / 241 mm radius. A Deluxe molded hard case is already included for transporting and protecting the instrument.
