Fender American Professional Classic Jazzmaster: Vintage Soul Meets Modern Performance

The Fender American Professional Classic Jazzmaster RW Faded Firemist Gold blends iconic offset tradition with upgrades crafted for discerning guitarists. Designed to meet professional standards both on stage and in the studio, this model offers timeless looks, expressive tone, and steadfast reliability. Guitarists seeking an inspiring instrument with classic vibes and forward-thinking features will find much to appreciate here.

Signature Features for the Modern Player

What makes this Jazzmaster stand out is its unique marriage of heritage and innovation. Players benefit from Coastline '65 Jazzmaster pickups, which are slightly overwound for greater warmth and dynamic range, and a Greasebucket™ tone circuit that lets you reduce treble without losing definition. Fender includes pre-routing for a rhythm circuit (user-installable), while the custom faded finish adds a touch of individuality and style.

Core Construction: Tone, Feel, and Reliability

Tonal character and comfort guide every design choice. An alder body delivers resonance and balance, and a satin urethane finish elevates both aesthetics and touch. The Modern "C" maple neck partners with a rosewood fingerboard (9.5"/241 mm radius) and medium jumbo frets, supporting fluid bends and smooth chord transitions on a 648 mm scale. While the hardware nods to the past, it’s optimized for modern demands.

• Body: Alder — pronounced mids and robust lows for clarity and punch
• Neck: Maple, Modern "C" shape — comfort and ergonomic speed
• This instrument’s rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5" (241 mm) radius provides a classic feel and supports expressive playing techniques.

Electronics: Chime, Punch, and Versatility

With Coastline '65 single-coil Jazzmaster pickups, you can achieve everything from vintage sparkle to modern edge. The SS configuration, three-way toggle, and Greasebucket™ circuit allow for a wide range of genres—from surf and indie to jazz and alt-rock. Modders can easily personalize the tonal palette thanks to the rhythm circuit routing.

• Pickups: Coastline '65 single-coil Jazzmaster (SS) — authentic Jazzmaster character with extra output
• Master Volume, Master Tone, and the Greasebucket™ circuit make subtle or bold tone shaping straightforward for any musician.
• Switching: 3-way toggle — quick access to tonal blends

Hardware: Stability and Expressive Options

Vintage-inspired hardware merges with modern improvements for tuning and playability. The Jazzmaster bridge features Mustang saddles for stable tuning, and the vintage floating tremolo lets players explore expressive vibrato. Staggered ClassicGear™ tuners keep intonation steady through demanding sets.

• Bridge: Jazzmaster bridge with Mustang saddles — enhanced tuning, sustain, and string movement
• Experience smooth, classic vibrato with the vintage-style floating tremolo system.
• Tuners: Fender ClassicGear™ staggered — precise, reliable tuning
