Description

The Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster electric guitar celebrates the iconic offset design and sound of the mid-1960s. Its alder body and maple neck provide a resonant yet articulate foundation for the Pure Vintage '66 Single-coil Jazzmaster pickups to deliver the distinctive chime and quack that defined a generation. Available at Guitar Center, this meticulously crafted instrument features a comfortable mid-'60s C-shaped neck profile with a round-lam rosewood fingerboard and vintage-tall frets for a fast, familiar feel. The Jazzmaster bridge with threaded saddles and floating tremolo system provide expressive string bending and warbling effects.

Pure Vintage '66 Pickups For Quintessential Jazzmaster Tone

The Pure Vintage '66 Single-coil Jazzmaster pickups are specially voiced to capture the bright, jangly tones of the mid-1960s. In conjunction with the alder body and maple neck, these pickups produce harmonically rich overtones with chimey highs and a throaty midrange. The slide switch and thumbwheel controls provide tonal versatility, from rhythm to lead settings.

'60s-Inspired Neck Profile And Fretboard

The American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster features a comfortable C-shaped neck profile with a round-lam rosewood fingerboard as was standard for the era. The 7.25" fingerboard radius and 21 vintage-tall frets make chordal playing a breeze while providing silky bends and vibrato. The neck's mid-'60s profile is highly resistant to twisting and warping thanks to its maple construction.

Vintage-Accurate Bridge And Tremolo System

This Jazzmaster comes equipped with an adjustable bridge and floating tremolo system designed to deliver expressive string bending and warbling effects. The tremolo arm can be adjusted to create subtle pitch variations or more dramatic warbles. The bridge and saddles are threaded for precise intonation adjustments.

Premium Appointments And Included Case

As with the original 1960s Jazzmasters, this American Vintage II model features white neck binding, pearloid block inlays, and Fender Deluxe tuners. It comes in a three-color Sunburst finish and includes a vintage-style black case with an orange interior for premium protection. Order the Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster today from for a vintage-inspired instrument with modern playability.
