Born in Corona, California, the elegant American Performer Jazzmaster delivers the exceptional tone and refined feel you expect from an authentic Fender with player-oriented features that make it even more inspiring to play.

The American Performer Jazzmaster includes the Yosemite single-coil pickups, designed for rich, expressive tones. With flat-staggered pole pieces to increase output and a shellac coating that lets the coil breathe while controlling feedback, Yosemite pickups produce dynamic sounds ideal for any musical situation. The "Modern C"-shaped neck sports a 9.5"-radius fingerboard that's comfortable for all playing styles, along with 22 jumbo frets for effortless and accurate bending. As a final touch, the traditional Jazzmaster tailpiece and bridge have been replaced with a Strat-style six-screw vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge.

I really like this guitar. I have a few Jazzmasters already so I actually welcome the differences on this one - Jazzmaster purists instead of whining about this one go and get a regular Jazzmaster..plenty of them out there. First of all, I love having a strat tremolo on a Jazzmaster...so much more control of your bends. The rosewood neck plays nice and I prefer the satin neck that this has over high gloss necks. The guitar sounds awesome - somewhere between a strat and a jazzmaster...closer to a Jazzmaster. It came set up well.On the flip side...i think a $1,200 guitar should come with a hard case and a bone nut...Squier classic vibes even have a bone nut (best value for a guitar out there but that is for a different review). Wish it had a rhythm circuit if only for using it as a killswitch. I would recommend this to anyone...especially if the price point came in at about $999.00.
