Fender American Ultra Jazzmaster®, Maple Fingerboard, Cobra Blue

Description

The Fender American Ultra Jazzmaster combines classic single-coil Jazzmaster tone with modern playability, resulting in one of the most high-performance and performance-focused Jazzmasters Fender has ever made. Two Fender Ultra Noiseless pickups deliver the classic chime and harmonic richness that Jazzmaster fans love, while the S1 control allows you to switch between series and parallel modes for even greater sonic versatility. The modern D-shaped neck profile with a satin finish plays astonishingly fast and smoothly, which should appeal to fans of modern, thinner neck profiles. A bound, compound-radius fretboard ensures fluid playability and rounds off an entirely well-thought-out Jazzmaster.

The various iterations of Fender's noiseless pickup technology have been a huge hit among guitarists, and the American Ultra Jazzmaster will surely impress with its Ultra Noiseless single-coil pickups. They deliver the sparkling chime and expansive harmonic richness you would expect from a classic Jazzmaster. And since they are free from the hum and buzz that standard single-coil pickups suffer from, you can take on the stage without having to deal with noise.

Jazzmasters have always been capable of covering a wide tonal range, from warm and woolly to bright, percussive, and biting. The Fender American Ultra Jazzmaster retains the Jazzmaster's flexibility but takes it a step further with its S1 switch. With the S1 switch, you can choose whether to drive the Ultra Noiseless pickups in series or parallel modes, each offering a distinct sonic character. And speaking of controls, the American Ultra Jazzmaster gives you even more tonal control by providing a tone control for each pickup, unlike the traditional master tone control.

The Fender American Ultra Jazzmaster is Fender's take on a higher-performance version of the modern Jazzmaster. It offers several upgrades over traditional Jazzmaster designs, including a 10-14″ compound-radius fretboard mounted on a modern "D" neck. The Ultra Jazzmaster's lightweight body is made of alder and finished in a flawless polyester gloss finish. Sealed and lockable tuning machines and a feature that many notice about the Ultra Jazzmaster is the slim, low-profile neck heel, which gives you access to fret positions that are difficult to reach on a vintage Jazzmaster. The rounded fretboard edges feel particularly comfortable and can make a big difference over long sessions. And the neck's super-smooth Ultra Satin finish encourages fast, fluid playing.
