Fender American Performer Jazzmaster, 3-Color Sunburst

Full Description

Superb electronic enhancements

An advanced dimension. The famed Yosemite single-coil pickups are crafted to produce that dynamic, expressive tone, typical of vintage Jazzmasters. Flat-staggered pole pieces are fitted across both pickups for increased output, along with a shellac coating to gift a heightened flexibility to the coil.

Paint your tone to ultimate precision, with the hailed Greasebucket tone circuit. This unique modification equips you with the freedom to sculpt your highs, without adding bass. Emit sparkling clean tones with added delicacy, or rather maintain a distinct, overdriven sound that breathes effortless clarity.

A push-pull tone control opens up limitless, sonic capabilities for players of all genres, adding the neck pickup in any of the three switch positions. Colour your sound with the inclusion of inductors and capacitors to the pickup circuitry, creating resonant peaks and valleys and preventing your tone from becoming muddy. An iconic sound, re-imagined.

Endless invention at your disposal

Experiment to the limits. The Performer Jazzmaster comes equipped with a six-screw, Strat-style vintage tremolo bridge, in place of the traditional Jazzmaster tailpiece, allowing you to perform incredible vibrato effects in an all-new fashion. Combine the consistency of the Jazzmaster's harmonious voice with the expression of a Strat-style whammy bar. Invention has never been so obtainable.

The feel of Fender

Timeless. When it comes to playability, few possess the expertise that Fender have acquired over years of masterful guitar production. Much of this is due to the careful selection of high-end tonewoods used across the entirety of Fender's product range - and it doesn't stop at the American Performer series...

Experience a well-rounded, textured sound, thanks to the impeccably balanced resonance of the alder body. Alder is renowned for providing players with an even distribution of low, mid and high frequencies to deliver a full-bodied tone. Used across multiple classic Fender models, it's versatility and comfortably light weight makes it a favourite for guitarists of all styles.

Indulge in a world of astonishing warmth and purity. The rosewood fretboard has been an integral component of the Jazzmaster's signature sound since its initial release in 1959. Layered on top of a "Modern C"- shaped, maple neck, you'll witness sublime note definition across all 22 frets, along with a comfortable hold that suits all playing styles. It's time to unchain your creativity.

Includes deluxe gig bag

Take your sound wherever you go. With a deluxe Fender gig bag included at no additional cost, you can gain peace-of-mind that your Performer Jazzmaster is secure in all environments. Containing a padded interior, your guitar remains safely protected from any potential scratches or scrapes that may occur. Ideal for a musician on the move.

Crafted with care

Fender have been crafting the very best guitars in the business for over 70 years.
