Fender Player Jazzmaster 2021 3-Colour Sunburst

This second hand electric guitar is in great condition.

The 2021 Fender Player Jazzmaster in 3-Colour Sunburst with a Pau Ferro fretboard is a modernized version of the classic Jazzmaster, built for players who love the offset aesthetic but want a more streamlined, rock-friendly experience. Part of Fender’s Mexican-made Player Series, this Jazzmaster ditches some of the vintage quirks in favor of simplicity, reliability, and versatility.

Build Quality & Design

Fender kept the classic offset body shape intact while modernizing certain elements to make it more player-friendly.

• Body: Alder, delivering a balanced tone with clear highs, warm mids, and tight lows.
• Finish: Gloss 3-Colour Sunburst, giving it a timeless and vintage-inspired look.
• Neck: Maple with a Modern "C" profile, which is comfortable for both rhythm and lead playing.
• Fingerboard: Pau Ferro, offering a warm, slightly snappier tone compared to rosewood.
• Scale Length: 25.5”, keeping that signature Fender feel with excellent note definition.
• Frets: 22 medium jumbo frets, making bends and fast playing smoother.

The offset body is incredibly comfortable, and Fender has simplified the controls, making this Jazzmaster easier to use than traditional models.

Pickups & Tone

Unlike vintage Jazzmasters, which feature wide single-coil pickups with a unique wiring system, the Player Jazzmaster is equipped with two Alnico 2 Player Series humbuckers, designed for fuller, more powerful tones.

• Bridge Pickup: Bright and articulate, with a good amount of punch—perfect for rock, indie, and alternative music.
• Neck Pickup: Warm and smooth, offering great depth for cleans and lead playing.
• Coil-Splitting: A push/pull function on the tone knob splits the humbuckers into single-coils, allowing for more traditional Jazzmaster-like tones when needed.

This pickup setup makes the Player Jazzmaster more versatile than vintage models, making it great for rock, alternative, blues, and even heavier styles.

Hardware & Playability

• Bridge: Adjustable six-saddle hardtail bridge (no floating tremolo like vintage models), ensuring better tuning stability and sustain.
• Tuners: Fender Standard Sealed Tuners, keeping tuning solid even after heavy playing.
• Controls: Master volume, master tone (with coil-split), and a 3-way pickup selector, making it simpler than vintage Jazzmasters (no rhythm circuit).

The removal of the floating tremolo and rhythm circuit might disappoint Jazzmaster purists, but it makes this version more beginner-friendly and stable for live performances.

The 2021 Fender Player Jazzmaster PF (3-Colour Sunburst) is an excellent modern take on the Jazzmaster, offering more power, better tuning stability, and a simplified control layout. While it may not satisfy vintage Jazzmaster purists, it’s a fantastic choice for players who love the offset design but need a more reliable, rock-oriented instrument.
