Vintage Offset Soul Meets Modern Playability
There's something about a Jazzmaster—that offset body, the wide-range pickups, the way it just looks ready for anything. The American Professional Classic Jazzmaster takes all that vintage charm and updates it for players who need reliability without losing the vibe. Fender's built this one around an alder body, Coastline '65 Jazzmaster pickups, and a Modern C-shaped neck with 9.5-inch radius fingerboard, so you get classic looks with a feel that won't slow you down. Whether you're chasing ambient textures or straight-up grit, this guitar is ready to go.
The Coastline '65 pickups use tried-and-true Jazzmaster construction with a hotter wind for warmer tone, plus Greasebucket circuitry. Based on Fender's Pure Vintage designs, these pickups are slightly overwound to deliver enhanced warmth, chime and punch. You'll find they're quieter than vintage models but still give you that signature Jazzmaster character—articulate, dynamic, and full across the frequency range. The simplified control layout ditches the rhythm circuit in favor of a straightforward three-way toggle, master volume, and master tone, so you can focus on playing.
This Faded Sherwood Green Metallic finish is part of Fender's custom-faded lineup, giving the guitar a worn-in, vintage patina straight from the factory. It's a Jazzmaster for players who want American craftsmanship, modern reliability, and that unmistakable offset attitude.
Built for Comfort, Built in Corona
The maple Modern C neck features a slick satin-finished sheen that provides a perfect just-right feel. The neck specs include a 9.5-inch radius rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, 25.5-inch scale length, and 1.685-inch nut width—specs that make bends effortless and chords comfortable across the whole neck. The satin urethane finish on the neck feels broken-in from day one, and the synthetic bone nut keeps string spacing consistent while adding sustain.
Hardware includes a Jazzmaster bridge with Mustang saddles, vintage-style floating tremolo tailpiece, Fender ClassicGear staggered tuners, nickel/chrome hardware finish, and a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard. The Mustang saddles are a smart upgrade—they improve tuning stability and reduce the string slippage that plagued earlier Jazzmaster bridges, all while keeping that classic floating tremolo feel intact. The vintage-spec floating tremolo unit puts wavy pitch-bending possibilities at your command, with ClassicGear staggered machine heads keeping your tuning in check.
Made in Corona, California, this guitar comes with a deluxe gig bag and is set up to play right out of the case. It's a workhorse Jazzmaster that handles studio sessions and live gigs with equal confidence.
The Greasebucket Difference
One feature that sets this guitar apart is the Greasebucket tone circuit. The uniquely engineered Greasebucket Tone System tames treble frequencies without sacrificing gain or adding unwanted bass, preserving carefully crafted sound. Traditional tone controls tend to get muddy when you roll them back—this one stays clear and articulate. It's a subtle but meaningful upgrade that gives you more usable tonal range without losing definition.
The three-position toggle gives you bridge pickup, both pickups, or neck pickup—simple and effective. You'll find the bridge position delivers bite and clarity with a muscular midrange, the middle position fattens things up with both pickups working together, and the neck position brings warmth and depth. The Coastline pickups deliver the Jazzmaster tone you expect, just with a bit more output and modern reliability.
