Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster Black Paisley

With the Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster Black Paisley, the traditional manufacturer expands its successful hybrid guitar series, which has already proven itself in the Stratocaster and Telecaster forms thanks to its clever design and incomparable functionality. Equipped with an Acoustic Engine pickup system, which Fender developed in cooperation with Fishman especially for this particular series, the sophisticated solidbody model combines the playing comfort of an electric guitar with the sound image of a Jazzmaster and an acoustic Western guitar. Thanks to the complex system consisting of a Fishman Under-Saddle Transducer, a Fishman Acoustic Enhancer Body Sensor and a magnetic Acoustasonic Shawbucker pickup, both acoustic and electric sounds can be elicited from the instrument. Included with the American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster is a sturdy Fender 1225 Deluxe gig bag.

Woods and construction

The solid mahogany body with an inlaid top made of spruce in Jazzmaster construction colors the entire sound with a full-coverage and warm note, which is especially noticeable in the bass and midrange frequencies. Moreover, a grippy mahogany neck with a Modern Deep C profile and an ebony fingerboard guarantees the playability of an electric guitar, making especially extensive sequences of notes and solos a breeze. In addition, a Satin Urethane finish lets the picking hand glide effortlessly over the neck.

Design and Hardware

A finely notched saddle made of Graph Tech TUSQ and a compensated saddle allow the 6 steel strings to intonate extremely cleanly over the entire scale length of 648 mm and thus also allow the problem-free use of a capo pickup. The chrome-plated Fender standard cast/sealed staggered tuners with their fine transmission ensure easy and precise tuning and give the instrument a traditional appearance in combination with the characteristic headstock. Two potentiometers on the top allow to adjust the Master Volume and the mode (A/B) can be adjusted individually. In addition, the individual pickup points can be switched through via a 5-way switch.
