Squier Contemporary Active Jazzmaster HH ST – Graphite Metallic Squier

Our Take:

A Jazzmaster with two SQR™ ceramic humbucking pickups? Your eyes aren’t deceiving you – and if they are, then we’ll have to get ours checked as well. This Contemporary Active Jazzmaster from Squier seeks to smash any expectations that you may have had about this well-known Fender model – and they have, turning the surf-rock six-string on its head by giving it two active humbuckers and black chrome hardware. If we weren’t already familiar with the Jazzmaster, we might’ve thought it was originally designed for metalheads!

Squier’s Take:

True to the Jazzmaster tradition of smashing rules, the Squier Contemporary Active Jazzmaster is packed with audacious new features. Sporting a matching headstock for a sleek aesthetic and black chrome hardware for a stealthy vibe, this guitar looks as sinister as it sounds.

Blending sharp appearance with a bevy of player-centric features, this Jazzmaster is a trailblazing rendition of a Fender classic. Inspiring player creativity, this guitar features a slim and fast “C”-shaped neck with a 12″ fingerboard radius ideal for speed and effortless bends, while an adjustable bridge with stopbar tailpiece provides optimal stability—even in drop tunings. Powered by an active 9-volt circuit, the dual SQR™ ceramic humbucking pickups produce high-output tone ideal for crunchy rhythms and screaming solos.
