Frequently Asked Questions - Affinity Series Jazzmaster FENDER
How do I change the strings on the Affinity Series Jazzmaster?
To change strings, first loosen the old strings and cut them near the tuning pegs. Remove them through the bridge. Insert new strings through the bridge and wrap them around the tuning pegs. Tighten to pitch and stretch the strings. For detailed steps, refer to the string changing section of the manual.
How do I adjust the truss rod?
The truss rod is accessed at the headstock (under the truss rod cover) or at the neck heel. Use the appropriate Allen wrench. Turn clockwise to reduce relief (flatten neck), counterclockwise to increase relief (more bow). Only adjust in quarter-turn increments and check the neck relief with a capo and feeler gauge. Incorrect adjustment can damage the neck.
How do I set the intonation?
Use an electronic tuner. Adjust the saddle screws on the bridge: moving the saddle toward the neck shortens the string, away lengthens it. Tune each string to pitch, then check the 12th fret harmonic vs fretted note. If fretted is sharp, move saddle back; if flat, move forward. Repeat until accurate.
What is the rhythm circuit and how do I use it?
The rhythm circuit is a separate circuit engaged by the slide switch on the upper bout. In rhythm mode, the neck pickup is active with its own volume and tone controls. This allows a darker, warmer tone. Use the slide switch to toggle between lead (both pickups with master controls) and rhythm (neck only with dedicated controls).
How do I clean and maintain the guitar?
Wipe the guitar after each use with a soft, dry cloth. For fretboard cleaning, occasionally use a guitar-specific cleaner and condition the wood. Polish the body with a guitar polish. Avoid abrasive materials. Check and tighten hardware periodically.
What type of strings should I use?
The recommended string gauge is .009-.042 (Fender USA 250L). Heavier or lighter strings may require setup adjustments. For alternative tunings, consider heavier gauges. Always use guitar strings designed for electric guitars.
How do I adjust the floating tremolo?
The floating tremolo can be adjusted via the claw screws inside the back cavity. Tighten screws to increase spring tension (decrease tremolo movement), loosen to decrease tension. The bridge should be parallel to the body when in tune. Do not overtighten.
My guitar has fret buzz. What should I do?
First check neck relief (see truss rod adjustment). If neck is too straight, add relief. Next check action height at the bridge. If strings are too low, raise the bridge saddles. Finally, check for uneven frets. A professional setup may be needed.
Can I install different pickups?
Yes, the Jazzmaster has a unique pickup cavity shape. You can install standard single-coil Jazzmaster pickups or humbuckers with an adapter. Soldering may be required. Consult a qualified technician if unsure.
Where can I find replacement parts?
Replacement parts are available through Fender authorized dealers, online retailers, or directly from Fender. Common parts like knobs, screws, and saddles are widely available. Always use genuine Fender parts for best fit and performance.
