The Jazzmaster Legacy
Introduced in 1958 as Fender's top-of-the-line model, the Jazzmaster was designed to appeal to jazz players but found its true calling in the hands of surf guitarists in the '60s and alternative rockers in the '80s and '90s. The American Professional Classic Jazzmaster honors that legacy with vintage-inspired features and modern playability.
Coastline '65 Jazzmaster Pickups
The vintage-inspired Coastline '65 Jazzmaster pickups deliver the depth, punch, and sparkle that made the Jazzmaster famous. These wide, flat single-coils provide a unique voice - warmer and fuller than Stratocaster pickups with enhanced bass response, yet still bright and articulate. Perfect for shimmering surf chords, jangly indie rock, and everything in between.
Faded Dakota Red Finish
The custom-faded Faded Dakota Red finish captures the aesthetic of a well-loved vintage Jazzmaster. Dakota Red is one of Fender's most iconic custom colors, and the faded finish process creates an authentic aged look that gives the guitar instant vintage vibe and character. This stunning finish looks incredible on the Jazzmaster's distinctive offset body.
Modern Playability
The Modern C-shaped neck provides exceptional comfort and playability with a sleek profile that feels great in your hand. Combined with the 9.5"-radius fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, this guitar plays effortlessly whether you're strumming chords or bending strings. It's the perfect balance of vintage feel and modern performance.
Greasebucket Tone System
The Greasebucket tone circuit is a unique Fender innovation that sets the American Professional Classic apart. Unlike traditional tone controls that lose gain and clarity as you roll them off, the Greasebucket circuit removes highs while preserving your sound's dynamics and presence. It's a subtle but powerful feature that expands your tonal palette.
Perfect For:
Whether you're a surf music enthusiast seeking authentic Jazzmaster jangle, an indie or alternative player wanting that distinctive offset voice, a professional demanding vintage tone with modern reliability, or a collector appreciating faded vintage finishes in iconic colors, this Faded Dakota Red beauty delivers. Its combination of vintage soul and modern performance makes it the ultimate American Professional Classic Jazzmaster.
