Vintage Looks with Modern High-output Performance
Squier's Contemporary Active Jazzmaster HH sports the look and feel of a classic Jazzmaster, bolstered with active ceramic pickups to suit the high-output needs of modern players. It's primed for fast playability too, with a Modern "C" neck profile and 12-inch-radius fretboard. Instead of the traditional Jazzmaster floating vibrato, the Contemporary Active Jazzmaster HH is equipped with a modern 2-point tremolo for expressive bends and dives with a Strat-like feel. If you're looking for superb tone, playability, affordability, and a don't-play-by-the-rules vibe, Sweetwater recommends the Squier Contemporary Active Jazzmaster HH.
