The Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster invites players to experience the revolutionary sound, style, and playability of one of Fender's most distinct guitars. Faithfully recreating the elegance and innovation of its 1966 predecessor, this model bridges the gap between vintage aesthetics and modern performance. Offered in the stunning Sherwood Green Metallic finish, this Jazzmaster exudes mid-'60s sophistication while delivering timeless versatility for the jangly tones of '60s surf or the raw power of indie and alternative rock.
The Jazzmaster Reimagined – Vintage Elegance Meets Sonic Adventure
Originally marketed as a sophisticated solution for jazz players, the Jazzmaster was unlike anything the guitar world had seen. With its offset contours, intricate rhythm and lead circuits, and floating tremolo system, it provided a luxurious and forward-thinking playing experience. While it didn’t initially captivate its intended jazz audience, the Jazzmaster soon became an icon for surf rock, indie, and alternative musicians.
The American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster pays homage to this evolution with remarkable period accuracy. Its "C"-shaped maple neck and 7.25" radius round-lam rosewood fingerboard ensure exceptional playability, while vintage tall frets enhance precision. The inclusion of pearl block inlays, white neck binding, and a matching painted headstock (on select finishes) captures the essence of its mid-'60s design.
Outfitted with Pure Vintage '66 Jazzmaster pickups, a patented floating tremolo, and adjustable threaded saddles, the guitar delivers the signature tone and feel that made the Jazzmaster legendary. The rhythm and lead circuits provide tonal versatility, making it suitable for lush chords, surfy leads, and gritty indie riffs alike.
Available in stunning finishes, the American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster is a testament to Fender’s dedication to preserving its storied history while inspiring new generations of players.
