Overview

A modified classic with simplified controls and heavy duty hardware.

The first-ever American Special series Jazzmaster model is a stripped-down, full-voiced marvel in sound and style. Dual Jazzmaster Special humbucking pickups deliver monster tone, with a lean-and-mean control layout consisting of a single three-way toggle pickup switch and two aged-white control knobs (master volume and tone). Further, the Adjusto-Matic bridge and anchored tail piece provide rock-solid intonation and tuning stability.

Other features include a maple neck with modern C profile and satin finish, rosewood fingerboard with 9.5" radius and 21 jumbo frets, four-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, and nickel/chrome hardware.

Deluxe gig bag included.
