item# 1500000428240

New

Originally conceived as Fender’s most sophisticated solidbody electric, the Jazzmaster has spent decades carving its own path through popular music. The Fender Player II Jazzmaster carries that spirit forward with vintage-inspired style and a streamlined feature set that preserves the model’s unmistakable voice while enhancing its everyday playability. A pair of Player Series Alnico V Jazzmaster single-coil pickups delivers the depth, clarity and dynamic response that have long defined the design, combined with a simplified three-way switching system that keeps its most essential sounds within easy reach. An alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation, while a Modern C maple neck and 9.5"-radius slab rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges ensure a smooth, comfortable playing experience. Finished in a range of classic colors pulled from the Fender archives, the Player II Jazzmaster pairs expansive tone and expressive feel in a refined modern package.

Offset Alder Body for Balance and Enhanced Comfort

The Jazzmaster’s iconic offset body contributes significantly to the instrument’s relaxed, comfortable feel. Whether seated or standing, it rests naturally against the player and remains well-balanced during extended rehearsals, recording sessions and performances. Alder construction provides a clear, even response with strong note definition and balanced frequency content, helping preserve the openness and articulation that have long distinguished the Jazzmaster voice. Finished in gloss polyester, the body combines timeless Fender style with the durability required for years of dependable use.

Modern C Maple Neck and Slab Rosewood Fingerboard for Responsive Playability

The Player II Jazzmaster’s maple neck is carved to Fender’s comfortable Modern C profile for a balanced feel that supports both chord-heavy rhythm work and more melodic lead playing. Its slab rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and a smooth surface under the fingers, while the satin urethane neck finish keeps position shifts relaxed and natural. Rolled edges help the neck feel broken-in from the first session, and the 9.5" radius with 22 medium-jumbo frets gives players room for expressive bends, intricate chord voicings and dynamic movement across the neck. It’s a clean, comfortable setup that complements the Jazzmaster’s spacious voice without getting in the way.

Player Series Jazzmaster Pickups for Clarity and Expression

A pair of Player Series Alnico V Jazzmaster single-coil pickups captures the full-bodied clarity and dynamic response that have made the design a favorite among players seeking something beyond traditional single-coil sounds. The neck pickup produces warm, spacious cleans with impressive detail and note separation, while the bridge pickup adds focused attack and articulation without becoming overly sharp. A streamlined three-way toggle switch replaces the more elaborate switching systems associated with vintage Jazzmaster designs, providing immediate access to the instrument’s core voices while maintaining a straightforward playing experience. The result is a pickup configuration that encourages exploration while remaining intuitive and easy to navigate.

Floating Tremolo and Mustang Saddles for Expressive Performance

The Player II Jazzmaster retains the model’s iconic floating tremolo system, allowing for smooth pitch modulation and subtle expressive movement that has become a hallmark of the design. Upgraded Mustang saddles improve stability and playing comfort while preserving the feel and functionality players expect from a Jazzmaster. Fender ClassicGear tuners provide dependable tuning performance, while a synthetic bone nut further supports tuning consistency. Together, these refinements modernize the hardware package without compromising the character that makes the Jazzmaster unique.

A Streamlined Jazzmaster Built for Modern Performance

The Fender Player II Jazzmaster pairs the expansive voice, expressive feel and unmistakable style that have long defined the model with a collection of modern refinements designed for contemporary musicians. Its balanced alder construction, articulate single-coil pickups and responsive floating tremolo create an instrument equally suited for atmospheric textures, dynamic rhythm work and melodic lead playing. By preserving the qualities that made the Jazzmaster distinctive while refining the experience for modern performance, the Player II Jazzmaster remains a compelling choice for players drawn to creativity, character and a sound that refuses to follow convention.
