New Yosemite Jazzmaster Pickups

Two of Fender’s new Yosemite Jazzmaster single-coil pickups provide the versatile voice of the Fender American Performer Jazzmaster.

Newly designed to deliver rich and expressive tone, these pickups feature shellac potting allowing the coils to breathe while keeping feedback under control.

Using the three-position pickup switch you can choose between using either pickup individually or both at once.

Master Volume and Master Tone knobs are also on hand allowing you to further shape your sound. Plus, you can even roll off the highs without adding bass because of the Greasebucket circuit so you can retain your crispy clear tone.

High Quality Hardware

Completing this awesome new Jazzmaster is a set of high-quality Nickel and Chrome finished hardware.

Fender’s new ClassicGear tuning machines are found on the headstock boasting 18:1 turning ratio for ultra-precise tuning while providing some vintage visual flair.

In keeping with the old-school theme, a vintage-style synchronised tremolo bridge has been installed on the body providing dynamic trem action while the six saddles allow for precise intonation across the board.

Gig Bag Included

Sweetening the deal, it even comes with a deluxe Fender gig bag so you can protect your new guitar in style.
