SOPHISTICATED STYLE AND SOUND

Originally intended for sophisticated jazz guitarists, the Jazzmaster was quickly embraced by musicians attracted to its left-of-center looks and fat sound. A direct descendent of the guitar that powered underground music from the late-'60s to today, the American Professional Jazzmaster is ready to lend its unique sound to your playing. Includes hardshell case.

i love this guitar. i bought it without even playing it because of covid but the build quality is superb. the frets are perfectly dressed, the neck came with the perfect amount of relief. The neck just feels so high quality i can hardly believe it when i play anything else. the translucent white finish on it is also gorgeous. i love this guitar, but the only reason i didn’t give it a perfect score is because of the pickups. i personally do not care for them. i believe they’re called v-rod’s, i could be wrong. regardless, i find that they’re kind of dull and noisy. i play through a deluxe reverb and it just doesn’t push the amp quite as nicely as my other guitars. i’m sure that it all depends on personal preference but frankly, i will be swapping these out for something else ASAP. Otherwise though, the rest of the guitar is a 10/10.

Fantastic Jazzmaster. All the people saying the V-Mod pickups make the American Pro Jazzmaster sound like a Strat had me hesitant to buy this guitar, but I played it in the store and loved it. It sounds like a Jazzmaster but with a more compressed, modern sound, and you can make it sound a bit more on the classic side by rolling back the tone about halfway. The ash grain shows through in a subtle way under bright light. The neck is a little fatter than I was expecting, but I love it already. The brightness and twang are just what I was after.

Beautiful finish on as body. The wood grain can be seen through the white finish. Satin finish neck with a comfy C shape. 9.5? radius is a preferred radius for playin imo. Tuners are quality. This guitar stays in tune without a problem. Very nice rosewood fret board. Accessible truss rod and neck angle adjustment. Ok, here is where it falls down... the bridge is too wide. The e and E strings are at the edge of the fret board in the higher frets. The vibrato mech seized up in the first month. The same problem happened to an acquaintance that had the same model of JM. I quickly replaced bridge and trem with Mastery bridge and trem. This should be your first upgrade, almost essential. I have incredible sustain now. The trem unit always returns to a tuned position. The pickups were unbelievably noisy. Beyond any other guitar I've ever owned including a much cheaper Mexican made JM (which I regret selling). It was embarrassing in my weekly group session. I changed the pickups out for Kinman Thickmasters which are completely noiseless. Highly recommended. The volume and tone knobs are positioned so that 1 or 10 are not visible to the player when in that position. All in all, it is a quality guitar but at the price it is, it should've been much better. The case is fantastic.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
