JAZZMASTER REVIEW #6: Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster + Demo!

[@cjkoegl]

Fender, if you're listening: Give this man a signature Jazzmaster please! What an ambassador, and as always, love your playing Mike.

[@warburgaby]

GREAT test 😍

[@BrandonSorianoMusic]

Pancake signature :o

[@johnc.o.6758]

I would buy this guitar so fast. Hey Fender...

[@kiim_caam]

Yo why hasn’t he gotten a signature yet…???

[@toneranger]

I second that 👍🏻

[@msnewpers]

I just want to mention to anyone who watched this outstanding video that I have the Am Pro II, I play with 10's and love the trem, and I am a pickup snob who always changes out pickups and I love the pickups on the AM Pro II. I prefer the somewhat "warmer" JM sound that you hear in Mike's excellent demos, and that is a bit of a deviation from what many consider the "true" (i.e. vintage) JM sound! Mike is a Jazzmaster afficianado par excellence. I'm someone who has long loved the JM sound from so many of my favorite bands, but I've never actually owned a JM until now. So for those of you who have never owned a JM, and don't necessarily have the same expectations that an expert like Mike might have, I think this model might be the perfect gateway drug. To me the versatility and expressivity of this guitar makes it an incredible instrument that stands on its own!

[@brackendale1986]

I agree, the fact that I can get a strat middle/bridge sound on the middle setting is awesome. I put 10.5's on it and noticed a slightly tall fret, but thats the only complaint. I love this guitar.

[@nickfrijns8769]

Thanks for this comment. Just ordered one myself, and I kinda felt that Mike' critique of the pickups weren't really applicable to me nor the fact that you can't use 11s. This was just what I needed to hear. Also loved the JM for years and years and I'm finally getting one

[@sgd5k292]

@@nickfrijns8769 Having received mine back in Sept of 2022 after a 9 month wait, I play this beautiful guitar nearly every day and still love almost everything about it. The only thing I am thinking of changing is the vertical slide switch. I like to change lead tones in the middle of some instrumentals and the black slide switch is very easy to miss. I might replace it with a toggle, but boy, hate to do that especially if I would have to route out the cavity to accommodate the toggle. At this time I just practice switching a few times before a song that requires it, and that seems to work well. I have also found slide switches available that have higher (longer) and even different color levers. Lastly, after watching a video of Rick Beato and friends test out light gauge strings for tone and playability, I switched to 8's and man, do I love them! The Panorama still works very well. Tried 7's, but they were a little too slinky for me. Did I say I love this guitar?

[@deinemuddaskatet]

@@nickfrijns8769 I`ve been wanting to get this guitar for a while now. Why can't you use 11`s? I always play them normally and love them.

[@etherboy3540]

I watched the whole thing and I don't even own a Jazzmaster. This is a really good review that I actually learned stuff from. Also, happy birthday!

[@Puisheen]

That means a lot! Thanks for spending time with me!

[@TheTargetedScapegoat]

Yeah - imagine if you were about to buy a JM and played string gauges .11 and over? Thanks Mr P.

[@PintsofGuinness]

this might be the best guitar review on youtube. i wish more people would go into this kind of detail in reviews. not to mention so many reviews feel like glorified advertisements, whereas this video felt genuinely honest about everything.

[@lomoholga]

That’s because the high majority of KZbin reviews are glorified ads It is the modern infomercial- these various music gear corporations use KZbinrs as a free or extremely cheap third party marketing wing of the companies lol

[@noire1991]

Loved the video. Not enough people are commenting on how good of a player you are. You made me grab my guitar and start noodling around.

[@AlxMldzn486]

Mike, you spoke to my soul with your comments on the American Pro I Jazzmaster. I fell in love with the shell pink/all rosewood neck model when I saw it, and went full send when I found a used one, with next to no knowledge of offset guitars. It’s a beautiful guitar, but immediately it felt like the bridge was too wide for the neck, and the pickups were not giving me that Jazzmaster sound. Popped in a master bridge and some Fender Pure Vintage ‘65 pickups and it plays like a dream. Your videos have taught me a lot about Jazzmasters, I greatly appreciate the level of detail you bring, no different in this excellent review. Thank you for the content, great playing, and happy belated birthday!

[@chrisparker5278]

Jazzmaster: the most underrated guitar ever. To my ears the perfect tone

[@chrisparker5278]

@Neon Thunderbird now the boomers have left music and their influence is waning, the jazzmaster has a chance at becoming THE guitar. If only Fender would stop releasing models with terrible vibratos and bridges! 55mm string spacing… wtf‽ Whoever is calling the shots in the design team cannot play guitar!

Most legit review/format I’ve ever seen on KZbin. The pace reminds me old school tech/science shows

That's got to be the single best guitar review video I've ever seen in my life. You've got me rethinking my Mexi and wanting a pro II. I'd say job well done. Fender, hire this guy already.

This is just about the best product review I’ve ever seen. On any platform. About any product. Makes me want one, and a bigger spring.

[@graememckerracher4970]

It’s testament to Mike’s quality content that I watched a 58 minute review of a guitar that I have no intention of buying. 👏 and the playing was 💯 as ever.

[@El-Scorcho]

I love how thorough your reviews are, and you're easily one of the best players on KZbin! Thank you for putting so much effort into your content!

[@MrMiskut]

Dude I am so proud of you for being able to influence Fender. I have been a 30 year offset player and love all your videos and love all the insight that you have that matches up a lot with my opinions. Thanks for being you

[@conorfowler]

Knowing how long this has been in the works, I just wanna say thank you for how much time, effort, and consideration clearly went in to this. I appreciate how much detail you include in these reviews while still making it easy to understand. Happy birthday too!

[@anyapossomhandsacker518]

Amazing review/demo! I'm always blown away at the level of detail and thought that you put into these videos!

[@LoFiJazzfingers]

I've been lusting after one of these for the last year and can now proudly say own one of these beautiful guitars. It's a fantastic instrument! Love your content Mike!

[@henrystewart3882]

at 6:34, I have never really put much thought into looking at the location of the numbers on the knobs, and this is helping me change that! I always just assumed that on 10 the number 10 should be closest to the floor. I do like when the pickguards have a little tick mark on them that lines up with the knob to be a larger visual indicator though. I will definitely do this to my jazzmaster build!

[@ellandwill]

Came for the opinions; stayed for the playing. Every time. Superb all around! 🙌

[@jsetov]

Fantastic review! I'm actually working on a guitar design right now and this gave me so much to chew on. Damn, that's a great feeling! Thanks for all you do, man. Happy belated 40th.

[@MelodyCarroll-rx8tk]

I don't even play a jazzmaster but, man, this is by far the most fascinating video I've ever seen. The whole spring thing just pulled me in and I couldn't turn away. Fender should definitely give you a job.

[@towardstar]

Ive watched many videos on these and I was always skeptical but you showed what this thing can do (what I want it to do). Totally changed my mind

[@doublevries]

Beautiful jazzmaster and nice sound! Excellent review! This made me decide to order this JM today! This will be my first JM. This guitar has everything I am looking for in a JM. Even more. I am very curious! Nice that Fender also does something with your criticism. Keep up the good work! 👍🎸

[@DGoetz26]

Love your deep dives and tech tips. And when B7’s are actually back in stock anywhere, I will use your Bigsby setup tips when I install on my LP Special. But all that aside….you’re one of my favorite players on KZbin. Love your style and tone.

[@georgespencer3973]

Happy 40th, Mike! Ahh, to be 40 again… Your playing is awesome. And I don’t think the video was too long at all for a Jazzmaster enthusiast viewer. Loved it.

[@obahrey5197]

Mike, this video was amazing! I'm probably gonna rewatch every review you've made before I buy my first Jag or Jazz! You're the king of edutainment videos!

[@chronicmango]

Thanks for all this Mike. I also just want to say thanks for multiple playing styles in your reviews. So many reviewers only do blues rock or P&W sounds. It’s nice to hear someone with a little post hardcore/shoe gaze playing since that’s more how I play usually.

[@PedalPlayhouse]

Thank you so much for the time you took and the care in evaluating all the aspects of the Ampro2 here. As an owner of one I really appreciate how much I’ve learned of my model and also hearing you play it brought a smile to my face several times as I love the tones the guitar gets with and without pedals. It is the most versatile guitar I’ve owned and I’m by no means a traditional player so I definately love this modern tonal freedom. The ART DECO pickguard!!! Also I may ask you about my bar because like yours it is a bit looser then I wanted.

[@taitoradephx]

This was the swiftest and most enjoyable hour I have ever spent learning about guitars on KZbin. I have always wanted a JM, and I'm willing to invest in the best model, but I also want the best model for me. Thank you for your amazing combination of luthier skills, playing skills, and your obvious love of music.

[@stefank2629]

What a fantastic video. I had the AmPro II Jazzmaster and a 60s Am Original Jazzmaster at the same time and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the panorama tremolo. Thank you for making me feel less incompetent. I kept the Am 60s Original as it was a better guitar all round for me.

It's always a pleasure when you deep dive so much into a guitar's specs, pros and cons etc. And oh, I really missed hearing the "Mike Adams riff". I don't want to sound cocky but Fender acted a bit funky with you, do they actually know you're like the Offset Guru in the guitar community? Haha. Btw, I can't wait to see how you're going to mod that JM. And oh, I know I'm late but hey, happy 40th birthday Mike, cheers from Italy!

[@GamerPastHisPrime]

What an incredibly well done video and happy birthday! (I turn 40 next week). I always find your videos so informative, and about two years ago after watching a couple videos, I was able to buy my first Jaguar. It’s a 2017 MIM 60’s Jaguar Lacquer in fiesta red, and I really love it. Shortly after, I bought a white Vintera Jazzmaster. It’s funny because when I first got into guitar as a teenager, I really didn’t get the appeal of these guitars… and now I really love them. I actually have that Texas Tea 60th anniversary Jag coming this week (I know people are unhappy with many aspects of it), but I’m excited to get it. Thanks for showing me the way.

[@kimrosez]

The fact these are made in US lefty jazzmasters is what really convinced me i needed one in my life. Yes, it's a modern take, it has its pros and cons. Agreed Safetipost tuners are THE TUNERS and i would've loved to have seen 1 Meg in lead (reverse taper 1 Meg -for lefties-...: rare...push push 1 Meg, ditto...). I use 11-47s but they are Thomastik Jazz swing flatwounds and no issue with very limited downward travel on the panorama... ? Happy 40th ! :)

[@DoodlezMusic]

If I was to drop almost 2k on a new Jazzmaster, I would definitely not get an American pro II, and would rather wait a little bit more and get myself an American Original instead. I got into offsets back in june 2021, and got myself a Vintera Jazzmaster. I love the hell out of that guitar because it has everything you'd expect from an ACTUAL Jazzmaster, nothing fancy. trem placement is correct, vintage bridge, pickups that are wound the way that jazzmaster pickups should be wound, a proper rhythm circuit and a 7.25" inch radius (I don't mind it, but I would rather have a flatter neck because I would like to be able to bend a full step without my notes dying mid way through hah) Speaking of that, I would really really be interested to see a review of the Vintera series jag/mustang/jazzmaster! Love your vids, Mike!

[@19cubbies69]

Yeah. I had a brand new pro ii and sold it to get a like new AO Jazzmaster for about same price I didnt care for the pickups and the neck on pro ii. I have a Am Pro I w maple neck and it just feels better to me than am pro ii rosewood The Pro I sounds more stratty and dare say tele'ish which a lot of people dont like, but I like it since I have other JMs that sound like Jazzmasters. Pro I trem is fine

[@Aniki82]

I used to focus a lot on 7.25 radius as what made a neck good to me And it is in deed very nice for a good hand around and thumb on the root note.. But now I know for sure that the nut wide is in fact the most important to me, 42mn (small vintage) is perfect and the most important. I guess a somewhat fatter neck with 9'5 and 42mn would probably be the best neck shape to me!

[@DoodlezMusic]

@@Aniki82 Guess what? The American original has 42mm nut width and 9.5" radius!

Eh idk if a purity test is the way to go with offsets. Artists that made them "famous" used to mod the hell out of them, it tells you something. Maybe it's because for lefthanders like me their the only option but these Am Pros area godsend!

Once I got that sorted It's the only guitar I'm picking up lately. After watching this fascinating video I can see there are several things I can do to improve my Jazzmaster in the future.

About the 22nd fret: It's not about getting the high D, its about bending up to the high E!
