Fender Jazzmaster American Professional II Rw Dark Night

A Jazzmaster Designed for the Modern Era, Without Losing Its DNA

With over sixty years of evolution behind it, the Jazzmaster has established itself as a reference for guitarists seeking an instrument with a strong character, capable of covering rich textures and sounds that are both expansive and incisive. This American Professional II takes the idea further: it retains the Jazzmaster identity (attack, clarity, and presence) while adding comfort and electronics improvements designed for today's stage and studio.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

The Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a reliable, expressive guitar that is very comfortable to play during long sessions. Its ergonomics (sculpted heel, satin finish on the back of the neck) will appeal to demanding musicians, while its tonal palette is particularly suited to rock, indie, garage, pop, modern surf, as well as more atmospheric genres (ambient, post-rock) where vibrato nuances and detailed clean sounds make a difference.

The Sound

The combination of a alder body and V-Mod II Single-Coil Jazzmaster pickups emphasizes balance: firm lows, clear mids, and bright highs without harshness. The SS configuration offers a crisp attack and excellent dynamic response both with a pick and fingerstyle. The bridge pickup features a Tap function via a push/push tone control, ideal for switching between a more powerful, rougher tone or a more vintage, softer output alternative. Additionally, the Rhythm circuit activated by a switch, with dedicated volume and tone controls, allows quick access to a thicker, denser texture when the song calls for it. Finally, the Panorama Tremolo extends the range of action: perfect for the silky vibratos typical of the Jazzmaster as well as for more pronounced dives.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, use a set of Fender USA 250L nickel steel strings .009-.042 (part number 0730250403). A luxury molded case is included, ideal for daily transport and protection.
