Easy-playing compound-radius fretboard
The American Ultra Jazzmaster’s performance-driven neck matters. The all-maple build and Fender headstock symbol are misleading. A 10″–14″ compound-radius fretboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets makes this Jazzmaster easy to play. Rolling fretboard edges improves long sessions. Modern “D” profiles provide grip without sluggishness. The neck’s Ultra Satin polish speeds fretwork. Guitarist likes the American Ultra Jazzmaster’s tapered neck heel. This Jazzmaster’s heel makes fretboard access easier.
Fender fans will adore the American Ultra Jazzmaster’s Ultra Noiseless single-coil pickups. Jazzmaster pickups sound bright and full. Play securely with high-gain tones since they don’t buzz or hum like single-coil pickups.
