Fender American Acoustasonic® Series Jazzmaster®

Quick Start Guide

Introducing the 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 nor 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.

Acoustasonic Controls

The Acoustasonic Jazzmaster is the pinnacle of Fender craftsmanship, innovation, and purposeful design. From the specially-tuned soundport and resonant offset body shape, to the powerful Fender and Fishman®-designed engine, every aspect of this guitar is engineered for versatility, playability, and adventure.

The guitar features three main controls:

Position: The Voice Selector knob is numbered 1 through 5.
Volume Knob: Controls the overall output of the guitar.
Voice Selector: Selects one of five discrete "voice pairs."
Blend Knob: Selects and/or blends between the 'A' and 'B' voices within each pair.

Infinite Possibilities: Blend 'A' and 'B' voices with the Blend Knob to unlock new sounds never heard before in a single guitar.

Turn It Up: Make it loud. The volume knob controls the overall output of the guitar.

The Choice Is Yours: Exploring the Voices

The Acoustasonic Jazzmaster offers five distinct voice pairs – a curated collection of acoustic and electric voices that can be played solo with the flick of a switch or blended via the Blend Knob for countless combinations.

Voice Pair 5:

5 A: Rosewood Dreadnought – Warm and articulate across the frequency spectrum, with complex overtones. (Described as 'Brighter')
5 B: Mahogany Slope Shoulder – A dry, earthy and organic tone, great for Americana-style flatpicking. (Described as 'Warmer')

Voice Pair 4:

4 A: Mahogany Jumbo – Loud and airy – perfect for heavy responsive strumming to accompany vocals and other instruments. (Described as 'Larger / Full Body Sound')
4 B: All-Mahogany Small Body – Articulate, warm, and focused tone that lends itself to fingerpicking and arpeggiated chords. (Described as 'Mid-Forward / Tighter Low End')

Voice Pair 3:

3 A: Rosewood Auditorium – Tighter and brighter for a more hi-fi sound and detailed midrange that sits beautifully in a mix. (Described as 'Removes Body Sensor')
3 B: Body Sensor Pickup – Creates a percussive top – perfect for a solo looping performance – and enhanced harmonics that pop! (Described as 'Adds in Body Sensor')

Voice Pair 2:

2 A: Lo-Fi Piezo – A cool lo-fi sound produced only by the piezo pickup and the Jazzmaster's unique body resonance. (Described as 'Removes Electric Tone')
2 B: Lo-Fi Piezo Crunch – A thin-body acoustic pushed through an electric amp for one-of-a-kind overdriven sounds. (Described as 'Adds in Electric Tone')

Voice Pair 1:

1 A: Fender Electric Fat/Semi-Clean – Produces high-powered electric tones via the Tim Shaw-Designed humbucking pickup. (You won't believe your acoustic guitar can do this.) (Described as 'Cleaner')
1 B: Fender Overdriven Electric – Turns up the power to produce a booming overdriven tone that's sure to melt the paint off the walls. (Described as 'Dirtier')
