Vintage voices
Bursting with flavour. The pure-vintage '65 Jazzmaster single coil pickups loaded into this proud guitar are full of classic, bright, powerful tones. Having been re-voiced to sound like their counterparts from the '60s, they deliver a fresh, smooth sound which is both punchy and defined. The bridge pickup has a tight, pronounced midrange which fills your riffs with bright energy. Your notes will cut straight through to the front of the mix.
The neck single coil also has plenty of character of its own. Warm and smooth, it will give your licks a rich, creamy texture which comes alive when you play. Your riffs will get the full '60s treatment when you play through these specially voiced pickups – they're guaranteed to get you in the groove.
Born to perform
Every inch of the Player Jazzmaster is crafted for performance. And it shows. A lightweight alder body lets players roam free on stage, along with an ergonomic, offset design for maximum comfort -standing or sitting. Fender know better than anyone that a guitar should enhance creativity. And this Player Series model is certainly no exception.
The maple neck is shaped into a modern “C”, fitting perfectly into the palm of your hand. This way, you can play every riff, chord, and solo with total control and precision. Satin-finished on the back and glossed on the front – all surfaces of the fretboard and neck are distinctively sleek. What this means, is that your fingers will soar across the pau ferro fingerboard whilst movement of your hand will remain fluid across the back of the neck, ideal for fast playing. Put simply, the Player Jazzmaster won’t hold you back. Because, ultimately, Fender know what it takes to deliver a truly refined playing experience.
The pinnacle of performance
Everything you need. The Player Jazzmaster is equipped with a host of quality hardware to help it deliver an exceptional performance – every time you play. The six-saddle vintage-style adjustable bridge provides exceptional tuning stability. And a 'floating' tremolo tailpiece allows you to use the vintage-style whammy bar when you want to add some vibrato to your tunes. At the other end, standard cast/sealed tuning machines provide exceptional string support and facilitate swift tuning changes. With this guitar, your performance will soar.
