Building on the success of their acclaimed American Vintage and Original ranges, Fender's revamped American Vintage II Series takes things up a notch! Comprising dozens of remarkably precise recreations of timeless Fender designs, these guitars are built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes, and meticulously-voiced, year-specific pickups. The American Vintage II Series painstakingly pays tribute to the revolutionary instruments that altered the course of popular music forever, with each model capturing the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

The American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster is a direct descendant of the original, and a Fender offset guitar in its purest form! Featuring a comfortable "C"-shaped Maple neck with a 7.25"-radius round-lam Rosewood fingerboard and vintage tall frets — this JM provides a nostalgic, "time capsule" feel. Characteristic of production in 1966, the Vintage II Jazzmaster also sports classy white neck binding, pearl block inlays, single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners and a matching painted headstock. The patented "floating" tremolo, adjustable bridge with threaded saddles and Pure Vintage '66 Jazzmaster pickups (wired to the signature rhythm and lead circuits) deliver classic tone and legendary Fender feel.

Key Features

  • Gloss Nitro Finish — Nitrocellulose is a famously thin, vintage-style lacquer that allows the instrument to breathe for beautiful resonance. It ages nicely too, yielding an organic "played-in" feel that wears naturally over time.
  • Pure Vintage '66 Jazzmaster Pickups — These traditionally-voiced single-coils produce iconic, jangly Fender tones in abundance!
  • Floating Tremolo — Allows for plenty of vintage vibrato effects; perfect for washy "surf" guitar warbles and flamboyant alt-rock pitch bends.
  • "C"-Shaped Maple Neck — A period-correct neck profile that's synonymous with '60s Fenders. It plays like a dream!
  • Pearloid Block Inlays — Introduced in 1966, the bound neck with pearloid block fingerboard inlays give this Jazzmaster an exquisite "dolled up" look.
  • Vintage-Style Case — A rugged black hard case is included, offering excellent protection. It features a vibrant orange interior too!
  • Made in Corona, California — All American Vintage II guitars are constructed in Fender's main California factory; the beating heart of Fender craftsmanship.

Stuff About Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Stuff About Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.

The Important stuff

Jazzmaster — The Fender Jazzmaster was designed in the late 1950s for jazz players but quickly found fame in surf, alternative, and indie rock. Its offset body offers great comfort when seated, while the unique floating tremolo and wide single-coil pickups create warm, chimey tones with plenty of character. The rhythm and lead circuit switching opens up a world of tonal options. Loved by players who like to stand out — from surf pioneers to shoegaze icons — the Jazzmaster is all about individuality and feel.. Lake Placid Blue.
