Description
Though initially designed to tempt jazz guitarists into playing solid-body electric guitars, the Jazzmaster found its home with surf-rock and alternative musicians worldwide. With its bright, spanky tone and eye-catching aesthetic, the Jazzmaster became a staple of modern music as we know it. This American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster pays tribute to those early-year Fenders, and it's great for musicians seeking a stellar vintage-inspired guitar.
Starting with an alder body, this axe produces that classic Fender sound with excellent sustain, punchy upper mids, and clear, bell-like trebles. Its "C" shape maple neck is nice and comfortable, and its 7.25" radius round-lam rosewood fingerboard and vintage tall frets play like a dream. And thanks to its white neck binding, pearl block inlays, and single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners, this Jazzmaster is a dead-ringer for the original.
Powering this beauty is a pair of Pure Vintage '66 single-coil pickups that churn out a stellar array of vintage Jazzmaster tones. Whether you need something bright and cutting or mellow and clear, these pickups are more than capable of delivering the goods.
Complete with the iconic rhythm and lead circuits that give this model its signature sound, the American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster is great for alt-rockers and old-school guitar enthusiasts alike.
