The Fender Jazzmaster has been a symbol of musical innovation and inspiration for over six decades.

The Fender American Professional Classic Jazzmaster rosewood fingerboard electric guitar takes that legacy and refines it for modern players, blending the iconic look and feel with updated features designed to take your playing to the next level. From its resonant alder body to the versatile Coastline '65 Jazzmaster pickups and smooth-playing maple neck, this guitar is made for those who crave vintage vibes with contemporary performance. Whether you're diving into ambient textures or cranking out gritty, overdriven riffs, the American Professional Classic Jazzmaster is built to push the boundaries of your sound.
Offset Elegance With a Classic Alder Body
The American Professional Classic Jazzmaster retains the unmistakable offset silhouette that made it a cult favorite—comfortable, balanced and effortlessly cool. The alder body delivers a balanced tonal palette with warm mids, punchy lows and articulate highs, making it adaptable to any style. Lightweight and easy to wield, it's designed to facilitate marathon improv sets and extended creative sessions. The satin urethane finish keeps it feeling sleek and smooth, letting the guitar resonate freely while giving it a worn-in, natural feel that's comfortable from the first time you strap it on.
Smooth Maple Neck for Effortless Playability
Built for comfort and speed, the American Professional Classic Jazzmaster's maple neck features a satin urethane finish that feels broken in and smooth against your palm. Its 25.5" scale length provides classic Fender string tension, offering a familiar, balanced response for everything from expressive leads to tight rhythm work. Medium-jumbo frets on the rosewood fingerboard give you precision and control, making aggressive bends, fast licks and complex chords feel intuitive. The synthetic bone nut ensures consistent string spacing and enhanced sustain, while Fender's ClassicGear tuners lock in reliable, stage-ready tuning stability—even when you lean into the tremolo.
Coastline Pickups Deliver Dynamic Tonal Range
Loaded with a pair of Fender's new Coastline '65 single-coil Jazzmaster pickups, the American Professional Classic Jazzmaster offers the best of both worlds—warm, dynamic tones with impressive clarity and output. The neck pickup delivers smooth, rounded lows and mellow mids, perfect for jazzy cleans or shoegaze textures, while the bridge pickup bites with crisp highs and punchy attack, ideal for cutting through dense mixes. The three-way toggle switch makes blending sounds seamless, from sparkling leads to thick, growling rhythm tones. Whether you're exploring delicate, reverb-soaked atmospherics or driving full-throttle distortion, the American Professional Classic Jazzmaster's tonal versatility shines through in any setting.
Jazzmaster Bridge and Tremolo for Smooth, Reliable Performance
The American Professional Classic Jazzmaster features a traditional Jazzmaster bridge upgraded with Mustang saddles for improved tuning stability and effortless string movement. This design minimizes slippage and enhances sustain, allowing each note to ring out with clarity and balance. Paired with a vintage-style floating tremolo tailpiece, it delivers smooth, responsive pitch modulation that’s perfect for everything from subtle warbles to expressive dives. Each saddle is individually adjustable for precise intonation and string height, ensuring a customized feel across the neck. The result is a bridge and tremolo system that captures the Jazzmaster’s iconic feel while delivering the rock-solid reliability demanded by today’s players.
