A striking new Jazzmaster model joins the Fender Select lineup in the powerful, gorgeous and light form of the Fender Select Carved Maple Top Jazzmaster HH. A distinctive high-end version of a venerable Fender classic, it boasts a potent pair of new Wide Range Special humbucking pickups and the innovative new “channel-bound” rosewood fingerboard. The Fender Select Carved Maple Top Jazzmaster HH also has a chambered alder body with a carved flame maple top in elegant hand-stained Cayenne Burst and Twilight Burst finishes with gloss-lacquer topcoat.

The new channel-bound Rosewood fingerboard is a brand-new Fender innovation in which the compound-radius (9.5″-14″) Rosewood fingerboard is “inlaid” into the thick modern “C”-shaped Maple neck. In addition to creating a stylish new look, it imparts an amazingly comfortable fretting-hand feel in which both edges are pleasingly rounded, with no side seam between neck and fingerboard.
