The Fender American Ultra Jazzmaster is an innovative take on a classic that blends familiar design with modern enhancements for a uniquely inspiring playing experience. The American Ultra Jazzmaster features Fender's Ultra Noiseless Jazzmaster pickups which deliver the iconic Jazzmaster tone without the vintage hum and buzz. The "Modern D" neck profile has rolled edges for endless comfort, while the 10"–14" compound radius fretboard provides a fast, fluid feel.

Ultra Noiseless Pickups: Iconic Tone Minus the Noise

Fender's Ultra Noiseless Jazzmaster pickups are a revelation, preserving the unmistakable Jazzmaster character in a noise-free format. Crisp, articulate and dynamic, these pickups let the inherent resonance of the American Ultra Jazzmaster shine through without interference from hum or buzz.

Modern D Neck Profile: A Familiar Yet Innovative Feel

The Modern D neck profile on the American Ultra Jazzmaster offers a subtly reshaped take on a traditional shape. Rounded fretboard edges create an ultra-smooth feel for limitless playability. Combined with the compound radius fretboard, this neck inspires effortless soloing and chord work alike.

Compound Radius Fretboard: Precision and Comfort

The 10"–14" compound radius fretboard on the American Ultra Jazzmaster provides the best of both worlds. The gradual curve from nut to bridge allows chords and leads to ring out with clarity. Near the nut, the fretboard has a rounder 10" radius for comfortable open chord work. Further up the neck, the 14" radius facilitates precise soloing and bends.

Advanced Switching: A Wealth of Tonal Options

The American Ultra Jazzmaster features an S1 switch which provides multiple pickup combinations. In series mode, the pickups are wired in the classic Jazzmaster format for the traditional sound. Flipping to parallel mode produces a brighter, more open tone with enhanced high end. Between the Ultra Noiseless pickups and S1 switching, this Jazzmaster offers a vast tonal palette.
