zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Fender tweaks the Jazzmaster just a bit for this American Performer model. A Strat-esque vintage-style tremolo replaces the traditional bridge and tailpiece.

Overview
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.
