Description
Revisit the golden age of offset design with the Fender® American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster. Originally aimed at jazz musicians seeking a refined solidbody experience, the Jazzmaster instead captured the hearts of surf rockers, indie players, and genre-bending guitarists worldwide. This reimagined classic features a 1966 "C"-shaped maple neck, bound round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, and vintage tall frets-bringing comfortable playability and timeless aesthetics to your fingertips.
True to its mid-'60s roots, the American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster boasts a set of Pure Vintage '66 single-coil pickups. These iconic pickups pair beautifully with the guitar's "floating" tremolo and adjustable bridge, delivering the saturated twang, glassy brightness, and expressive vibrato that made the Jazzmaster a favorite for surf, indie rock, alternative, and beyond. From white "witch hat" knobs to pearloid block inlays and matching painted headstock on custom color models, every detail exudes that era-authentic Fender flair.
