Equipped with a traditional slab rosewood fingerboard, the Fender Player II Jazzmaster serves up a modern spin on Fender’s historic offset icon. This guitar’s alder body comes loaded with a vintage-style floating tremolo unit to grant you expressive flutter and sway, slightly repositioned closer to the bridge to improve stability and sustain. In tonal terms, the Player II series introduces fresh pickups to the fold — Fender’s Player series Alnico V Jazzmaster single-coils supply springy Jazzmaster snap in spades, sporting crisp highs and tight, firm lows. Head over to the maple neck to be greeted by Fender’s fast-playing Modern “C” profile, which delivers sleek modern playability thanks to its 9.5-inch-radius slab rosewood fingerboard and Fender ClassicGear tuners. Combining all the idiosyncratic charm of a vintage-style Jazzmaster with all the benefits of modern performance, the Fender Player II Jazzmaster is a stage-ready 6-string that epitomizes classic offset style.

Revoiced Player II pickups 

Newly revamped for the Player II series, dual Player series Alnico V Jazzmaster single-coil pickups offer all the ideal sonic hallmarks of Jazzmaster tone, sporting chiming highs, firm lows, and restrained mids. Compared to the standard single-coils found on your typical Strat or Tele, these pickups offer a fuller, broader frequency response that’s all but defined the sound of surf music, shoegaze, indie rock, and countless other genres. Moreover, the Player II Jazzmaster does away with the traditional Jazzmaster rhythm circuit for a cleaner and more straightforward control section..

Rosewood returns to the fold

The Fender Player II series reintroduces a classic timber back into the tonewood fold: rosewood. It’s the de facto standard for any Fender without a maple fingerboard and has been used since the late 1950s — a fitting feature for the Player II Jazzmaster, as the Jazzmaster was the first guitar that Fender originally decked out with a rosewood ’board! What’s more, Player II guitars also feature rolled fingerboard ends for enhanced playing comfort and lock-tight Fender ClassicGear tuners..

Shimmer, sway, and glide with Fender’s floating tremolo

From subtle surfy sway to seasick shoegaze-inspired textures, the Fender floating tremolo system offers an expressive feel you can’t get anywhere else. While the system is undoubtedly revered for its rock-solid stability and effortlessly smooth feel, it’s also a critical tonal element to the offset guitar experience. Furthermore, the Player II Jazzmaster’s tremolo unit features a repositioned location closer to the bridge, which many of Music Experience’s offset adherents find enhances both bridge stability and sustain..
