Quick Start Guide

American
Acoustasonic
Jazzmaster
There’s no denying the cult-like allure of a Jazzmaster – from its sleek
offset body to the unmistakable call of its rebel yell.
Four new voicings set the Acoustasonic Jazzmaster apart from its Strat®
and Tele®predecessors – working in tandem with the unique resonance
of a larger offset body to offer our warmest, most natural acoustic
tones yet.
Add in some blazing new electric voices courtesy of a Tim Shaw-designed
humbucking pickup and you’ve got an instrument that defies definition.
Neither acoustic or electric, the Acoustasonic Jazzmaster is the most
versatile guitar Fender has ever made – an all-in-one tool that invites
adventure and inspiration from studio to stage.
