The American Professional Jazzmaster gets new V-Mod III pickups with Alnico 4 magnets, which Fender voices for tight lows, even mids and clear highs. A push-push tone control taps the bridge pickup from a full, throaty sound down to a lower-output vintage one.
The rhythm circuit is where it departs from a vintage Jazzmaster. Flip the slide switch and the two pickups run in series, thicker and louder, with the roller wheels as their own volume and tone. The Panorama tremolo with pop-in arm works with a ClassicGear J-Bridge carrying two-piece brass compensated saddles.
Deep "C" neck with rolled edges, 25.5" scale, 9.5" radius and a rosewood board. Five finishes, all alder; Black and Olympic White are new to the Jazzmaster in this series.
The Jaguar shares these electronics on a 24" scale, if you'd rather have the shorter neck.
