Introducing updated pickups, a redesigned tremolo system, and a wide range of captivating colors, the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster is sure to impress. This iteration of the iconic offset guitar is equipped with a player-favorite Deep "C" profile, with rolled fretboard edges for a supremely comfortable playing experience. The neck heel has been redesigned for better access to higher frets, too. And with the innovative Panorama tremolo system, you have the extended pitch-bend range of a Stratocaster combined with the sensitivity and subtlety of the classic Jazzmaster tremolo. With all this musical mojo channeled through a pair of V-Mod II single-coil Jazzmaster pickups for vibrant, full-spectrum tonality, the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster delivers on all fronts.
Many Jazzmaster players at Sweetwater think the floating Jazzmaster vibrato system is one of Leo Fender's finest designs, with little room for improvement. We're please to report that the updated Panorama tremolo system on the American Professional II Jazzmaster offers the same fluid response you'd expect, but with greater bending range akin to that of a Stratocaster. The shape of the arm stays the same, which plays a big role in the feel of a Jazzmaster's tremolo system. You'll be able to warble and flutter like always, and you'll also have access to deep dives when needed.
With the second-generation V-Mod II single-coil Jazzmaster pickups, Fender aimed for more articulation, clarity, and chime — and they nailed it. What really sets the American Professional II Jazzmaster apart from other versions, though, is the bridge pickup's tap function, allowing you to choose between "a powerful, throaty sound or a lower-output vintage sound." If you love the sound of a Jazzmaster's neck and neck-middle pickup positions (who doesn't?), but have found the bridge pickup to be lacking in girth, the American Professional II Jazzmaster is for you.
Fender's Deep "C" neck profile sets a solid and comfortable foundation for chords and lead lines alike, making it a favorite among players who aren't looking for a wafer-thin neck profile. For the American Professional II Jazzmaster, Fender went above and beyond by adding smoothly rolled fretboard edges that feel sublime in your hand, and a redesigned neck heel carve for a more comfortable experience in the upper registers.
