Description
Step into the future of classic sound with the Fender 2017 Pro Jazzmaster, a guitar that meticulously bridges iconic design with modern innovation. Known for its distinctive offset body, this Jazzmaster elevates its legacy with V-Mod Single-Coil pickups crafted by Michael Frank, which deliver a balance between vintage warmth and powerful output.

With its blend of tradition and forward-thinking design, the Fender 2017 Pro Jazzmaster stands as a testament to Fender's commitment to innovation while respecting its storied past.
