The Jazzmaster Just Keeps Getting Better

Introducing updated pickups, a redesigned tremolo system, and a wide range of captivating colors, the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster is sure to impress. This iteration of the iconic offset guitar is equipped with a player-favorite Deep "C" profile, with rolled fretboard edges for a supremely comfortable playing experience. The neck heel has been redesigned for better access to higher frets, too. And with the innovative Panorama tremolo system, you have the extended pitch-bend range of a Stratocaster combined with the sensitivity and subtlety of the classic Jazzmaster tremolo. With all this musical mojo channeled through a pair of V-Mod II single-coil Jazzmaster pickups for vibrant, full-spectrum tonality, the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster delivers on all fronts.

Panorama tremolo system expands your expressive range

Many Jazzmaster players at Sweetwater think the floating Jazzmaster vibrato system is one of Leo Fender's finest designs, with little room for improvement. We're please to report that the updated Panorama tremolo system on the American Professional II Jazzmaster offers the same fluid response you'd expect, but with greater bending range akin to that of a Stratocaster. The shape of the arm stays the same, which plays a big role in the feel of a Jazzmaster's tremolo system. You'll be able to warble and flutter like always, and you'll also have access to deep dives when needed.

Updated pickups, plus the bridge pickup tone you've been waiting for

With the second-generation V-Mod II single-coil Jazzmaster pickups, Fender aimed for more articulation, clarity, and chime — and they nailed it. What really sets the American Professional II Jazzmaster apart from other versions, though, is the bridge pickup's tap function, allowing you to choose between "a powerful, throaty sound or a lower-output vintage sound." If you love the sound of a Jazzmaster's neck and neck-middle pickup positions (who doesn't?), but have found the bridge pickup to be lacking in girth, the American Professional II Jazzmaster is for you.

A neck you'll love for a lifetime

Fender's Deep "C" neck profile sets a solid and comfortable foundation for chords and lead lines alike, making it a favorite among players who aren't looking for a wafer-thin neck profile. For the American Professional II Jazzmaster, Fender went above and beyond by adding smoothly rolled fretboard edges that feel sublime in your hand, and a redesigned neck heel carve for a more comfortable experience in the upper registers.

Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster Left-handed Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Fender's original offset guitar with modern performance enhancements
  • Updated V-Mod II single-coil Jazzmaster pickups offer more clarity and articulation than ever
  • Bridge pickup offers a tap mode to choose between "a powerful, throaty sound or a lower-output vintage sound"
  • Panorama tremolo system with pop-in arm gives you the bending range of a Stratocaster
  • Deep "C" neck profile with rolled fretboard edges and redesigned neck heel for a comfortable playing experience all the way up the fretboard

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

Note: While demo items from Fender do not include the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation warranty, you can shop with confidence knowing that this item is backed and covered by Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!

Jazzmaster Dark Night Pro II lefthanded- A beautiful thing

I have played Strats and Telecasters for years, but the Jazzmaster was that "other" Fender that I just never experienced. Actually, I had never even seen a lefty Jazzmaster in person, until getting a Squire last year- that Jazzmaster is a great sounding guitar. With that as the background, this Fender American Professional II is probably the best guitar I have played in a long time!

The rosewood neck is dark and beautifully crafted, it feels very comfortable sliding up and down the neck, the fretboard and frets are very smooth - the best fret detail I have seen on a Fender... EVER. The tremolo and bridge system works very smoothly, strings stay in tune and don't jump out of the bridge grooves. The tones that are unique to Jazzmasters are all there - the warbled tremolo, the jangling treble and the "Jazzy" tone circuit, with a twist- running both pickups in series. Then there is the Dark Night finish- black to a blue burst (or is that Blue to a black burst), I don't know but it's a beautiful thing.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
