Solidbody Electric Guitar with Alder Body, Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, 2 Single-coil Pickups, and Vintage-style Tremolo – 3-tone Sunburst

Timeless Sound and All-American Style

Despite its namesake, Fender’s Jazzmaster has endured for decades by solidifying its legacy as an unmatched workhorse of versatility, finding a home everywhere from surf and grunge to new wave, shoegaze, and black metal. Taking it back to the mid-20th century, the American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster oozes with iconic design. Its alder body anchors the full-bodied tones with plenty of rich, sustaining warmth. This is complemented by the maple neck’s tight, articulate projection, and the rosewood fingerboard’s shimmering veneer. Pair this with Pure Vintage ’66 Single-coil Jazzmaster pickups and you’ve got the seminal sounds of the era. Classic controls include “witch hat” knobs and thumbwheels to dial in a perfectly personal, balanced tone. Guitarists appreciate the period-precise “C”-shaped neck, complemented by a 7.25-inch fingerboard radius that accommodates players of multiple styles. Add in a bone nut, Fender Deluxe tuners, and a vintage-style tremolo, and you’ve got a timeless tone horse that you’ll need to take the reins for yourself.

Classic construction, full-bodied tone

In keeping with tradition, Fender’s luthiers made sure to do their homework on this American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster, ensuring era-accurate tonewoods were used to faithfully capture the guitar’s iconic sound. The alder body establishes a full, sonorous tonal foundation, delivering a full-bodied profile that sustains its robust bass and cutting mids. Maple imparts a bright, crystalline tone to the Jazzmaster’s sonic array, bringing out crisp highs, excellent projection, and clear, tight articulation through every register. Rosewood adorns the fingerboard, finishing off the guitar’s aural makeup with a shimmering, glassy veneer, taming the tones in just the right way to deliver that classic Jazzmaster sound.

Dial in your tone with vintage voltage

With the notable inclusion of the historic “witch hat” knobs, you’ll be happy to know that Fender’s attention to detail is not just skin-deep. Classic circuitry includes not only the master tone and volume control knobs, but the classic thumbwheel and slide switch arrangement for dialing in and rocking out. Pure Vintage ’66 Single-coil Jazzmaster pickups occupy the neck and bridge positions, brimming with character and masterfully encapsulating that vaunted vintage output.

Comfort, class, and sonic scope

Like the Jazzmaster’s genre-defying presence, it boasts a versatile “C”-shaped neck, accommodating guitarists of nearly any playstyle. Its classic offset cutaways ensure unfettered access to all 21 of its vintage-tall frets, sprawling a 7.25-inch fingerboard radius that’s beautifully bound for historically-accurate panache. Complementing its tonal triumphs, the 4-bolt maple neck is known for its dimensional stability, making it highly resistant to twisting or warping — another reason the Jazzmaster is so physically and sonically enduring. Pure Vintage Single Line Fender Deluxe tuners and a Pure Vintage Jazzmaster bridge bookend the guitar’s 25.5-inch scale, with threaded steel barrel saddles and a 1.65-inch bone nut keeping your tones in tune, buzz free, and ready for endless expression.
