Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster Dark Night Rosewood Fingerboard
Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster Dark Night Rosewood Fingerboard – The American Professional II Jazzmaster® draws from more than sixty years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today’s working player. Our popular Deep “C” neck now sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a “Super-Natural” satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. New V-Mod II Jazzmaster single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever while delivering the sparkle and chime the Jazzmaster is known for. The bridge pickup has a tap function that allows both a powerful, throaty sound or a lower-output vintage sound. At the flip of a switch, the rhythm circuit puts both pickups in series for a thicker tone with increased output, controlled by independent volume and tone roller pots. The new Panorama™ Tremolo system with pop-in tremolo arm dramatically increases the range of vibrato available, allowing for deep, Strat-style dives, in addition to classic Jazzmaster warble. The American Pro II Jazzmaster delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you’ll feel and hear right away, with broad ranging improvements that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.
Panorama tremolo system expands your expressive range
Many Jazzmaster players 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.
Updated pickups, plus the bridge pickup tone you’ve been waiting for
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.
A neck you’ll love for a lifetime
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.
