Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster Review/Demo/Modification/Pickup Comparison

Join me on the journey of my first Fender Jazzmaster. This video started out as my review/demo of the Fender American Pro II Jazzmaster guitar. I knew going into this purchase that I was going to want to make some modifications and rewire the guitar to more of a vintage Jazzmaster and replace the pickups with some more accurate vintage Jazzmaster sounding pickups (I went with the Seymour Duncan Antiquity I set). Fender doesn’t currently make any middle ground vintage style Jazzmasters for left handed folks like me. Models like the American Vintage (I & II), American Performer, Player Series, etc., are only currently being made for right handed players. But that didn’t stop me from owning the Jazzmaster that I was looking for! Sit back and hang out as I talk about my initial thoughts on the guitar as it came stock, what mods I decided to make, and some A/B comparisons showing the sound before and after making the mods to the guitar.
