Fender American Professional Jazzmaster — Classic Offset, Modern Performance
The Fender American Professional Jazzmaster RW 3-Color Sunburst is a US-made offset electric guitar that draws from more than sixty years of Jazzmaster innovation to meet the demands of today's working musicians. Two new V-Mod III Jazzmaster single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever while delivering the sparkle and chime the Jazzmaster is known for, and the Deep "C" maple neck with rolled fingerboard edges provides exceptional comfort across all 22 frets. This instrument is the right choice for guitarists who want authentic offset character without sacrificing modern reliability.
What Sets This Jazzmaster Apart
The bridge pickup has a tap function, engaged by a push-push tone control, that offers both a powerful, throaty sound and a lower-output vintage sound. At the flip of a slide switch, the rhythm circuit puts both pickups in series for a thicker tone with increased output, controlled by independent thumbwheel volume and tone controls. ClassicGear™ Precision™ potentiometers deliver smooth, consistent control with custom torque, precise resistance and a musical taper.
Alder Body and Polyurethane Finish — Balanced Tone, Classic Looks
Alder is a classic Fender tonewood known for resonance, punch and clarity, with a balanced and lively tonal profile featuring beefy mids and a robust low-end. A durable polyurethane finish protects the 3-Color Sunburst body, framed by a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard.
- Body Material: Alder — balanced, lively tone with strong mids and clear low-end
- Body Finish: Polyurethane — durable, road-ready protection for the wood
- Pickguard: 4-Ply Tortoiseshell — the classic Jazzmaster look
- Jazzmaster® body shape — offset waist for seated playing comfort
Deep "C" Neck with Rosewood Fingerboard — Fast, Familiar Feel
The Deep "C"-shaped maple neck sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a "Super-Natural" satin urethane finish on the back and a newly sculpted neck heel for easy access to the upper register. The 241 mm-radius rosewood fingerboard with white dot inlays and 22 narrow-tall frets makes bending easy.

V-Mod III Pickups and Panorama Tremolo — Modern Jazzmaster Voice
Two V-Mod III Jazzmaster single-coils deliver the model's sparkle and chime with more articulation than ever. In lead mode (slide switch down), a 3-position toggle selects bridge, both, or neck pickup, with master volume and master tone controls; in rhythm mode (slide switch up), thumbwheel volume and tone controls run both pickups in series. From classic Jazzmaster warble to deep, Strat-style dives, the Panorama™ tremolo with pop-in arm puts the full range of expressive vibrato at your fingertips, while the ClassicGear™ J-Bridge™ keeps every note locked in with superior intonation and stability.
