Blacktop™ Jazzmaster® HS

Model : 014840

Drive your sound with raw humbucking power. Fender's innovative Blacktop™ guitar series expands the sonic horizon of classic Fender Stratocaster®, Telecaster®, Jazzmaster® and Jaguar® guitars by powering them with high-gain humbucking pickups. The Blacktop series delivers on modern player demands for a thick and heavy sound. These guitars drive a wide array of deep, rich and aggressive tones that match the intensity of any playing style.

Sleek and supercharged, the Blacktop Jazzmaster HS has a Duncan Designed™ single-coil Jazzmaster neck pickup and a humbucking bridge pickup, with other distinctive touches including skirted black amp knobs, a Jazzmaster tremolo tailpiece and a lean control layout featuring a tonally convenient single three-way toggle switch. Other features include an alder body, maple neck with 9.5"-radius rosewood fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, gloss polyester finish and chrome hardware.

the blacktop jazzmaster has exceeded my expectations on so many levels! not only does it look great but it play's like a dream!! it stay's in tune well, but my only criticism is that the stings sometimes slip out of place if you pluck them too hard.

The Jazzmaster Blacktop, what a beautiful guitar. It looks amazing and plays like a beaut. The selling point for me was the bridge humbucker, when you put the toggle to the middle you get the warm, clean sound of the single coil mixed with medium output humbucker...what a lovely tone. This is an amazing guitar. For the money, you can't beat this jazzmaster!
