The American Professional Classic Jazzmaster pairs two Coastline '65 Single-Coil Jazzmaster pickups, wide and flat under aged white covers, with a simplified control layout: a 3-way toggle and master volume and tone, no separate rhythm circuit. The tone control is the Greasebucket circuit, which rolls off highs without adding bass.
The Jazzmaster bridge is fitted with Mustang saddles, a long-standing player change on these guitars, and there's a vintage-style tremolo arm. The alder body carries a Modern "C" neck on a 25.5" scale with a 9.5" rosewood board, Medium Jumbo frets and staggered ClassicGear tuners.
For the same idea on a 24" scale with a Strangle Circuit, look at the American Professional Classic Jaguar. For a build closer to the mid-sixties original, the American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster.
All four finishes come with a rosewood board: Faded Dakota Red, 3-Color Sunburst, Faded Sherwood Green Metallic and Faded Firemist Gold.
