FGN Masterfield Jazz HH JB

FGN Masterfield Jazz HH JB review

The FGN Masterfield Jazz HH JB is a hollowbody electric guitar with a Jazz Burst finish and a two-humbucker pickup layout. Its listed specifications center on a maple body, spruce top, mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard. The guitar has a 628 mm scale, 20 medium frets, a three-way pickup switch, and separate volume and tone controls for each pickup. FGN lists the instrument as made in Japan and includes a fitted case.

No customer reviews are available for this model, so there is no user feedback to report on its sound, comfort, setup, or long-term reliability. This assessment is limited to the supplied product information. The listed price is 2,250, and the model has been available since March 2026.

Construction and materials

The guitar has a hollowbody construction, not a semi-hollowbody design. Its body is maple, while the top is spruce. The neck is mahogany, and the fingerboard is rosewood. These details identify the main materials, but the available specifications do not state the body's internal bracing, the top's construction method, neck profile, neck joint, or finish type beyond the named color.

The finish is listed as Jazz Burst. Chrome hardware gives the instrument a specified hardware finish, while the product data names Gotoh S510-SL tuning machines. No tremolo is fitted. The listing does not provide details about the bridge or tailpiece, so those parts cannot be assessed here.

Scale, frets, and playing layout

At 628 mm, the scale length is a defining measurement for the guitar's layout. The supplied data does not describe how that length affects string feel or tuning stability, and those impressions would require hands-on testing. The fingerboard carries 20 medium frets, with FGN's Circle Fretting System identified as part of the fretwork specification. No fretboard radius, nut width, fret material, or factory setup measurements are provided.

The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard establish the listed neck materials, but there is no neck-shape specification. Players comparing instruments should avoid assuming a particular profile or hand feel from the material list alone. The same caution applies to access near the upper frets, which cannot be judged from the supplied measurements.

Pickups and controls

Two AlNiCo 3 humbuckers provide the pickup configuration, abbreviated HH in the model name. The guitar has a three-way switch and four dedicated controls: two volume knobs and two tone knobs. This arrangement provides individual level and tone controls for the two pickups, while the switch selects between pickup positions. The specifications do not state pickup output, coil-splitting options, wiring details, or control taper.

That leaves important tonal questions unanswered. There are no audio samples or customer comments to establish how the pickups respond cleanly, how they handle overdrive, or how much feedback the hollowbody produces at stage volume. Those characteristics should be checked in person or through reliable demonstrations rather than inferred from the pickup type and body construction alone.

Who should consider it

The FGN Masterfield Jazz HH JB is worth considering for players seeking a Japanese-made hollowbody with two humbuckers, separate pickup controls, and a 628 mm scale. Its published details give a clear outline of the core materials and electronics, but leave several practical questions open, including neck profile, bridge design, setup, and amplified behavior. A prospective buyer should verify those points with the seller and, where possible, try the instrument before purchase.

With no customer feedback available, this is a specifications-based assessment rather than a verdict on performance or value. The supplied information identifies a fitted FGN case and a listed price of 2,250, but it does not provide warranty terms or further accessory details. Item number 640244 identifies the product listing.
