WAYS TO PAY:
The Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster is a faithful recreation of one of Fender's most distinctive and historically significant models. Built as part of the American Vintage II series, this Jazzmaster combines authentic vintage specifications with modern precision, making it an excellent choice for players seeking classic tone, period-correct features, and premium craftsmanship. Every detail of the instrument is carefully matched to the original 1966 model, including body shape, neck profile, hardware, and electronics.
The Jazzmaster features a vintage-accurate gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, which allows the wood to breathe and age naturally over time. This finish enhances resonance and tonal clarity, offering a more dynamic playing experience. The body is constructed from alder, a tonewood known for its balanced sound, delivering rich midrange frequencies and a strong low-end presence that performs well across a wide range of musical styles.
This model comes with a 1966 "C"-shape maple neck, designed to replicate the feel of the original instruments from that era. The 7.25" radius bound round-laminated rosewood fingerboard is topped with vintage tall frets, making it easier to execute expressive bends and articulate playing. The neck also features period-correct pearl block inlays and white binding, with a matching painted headstock for an authentic 1960s aesthetic.
The electronics include a pair of Pure Vintage '66 Jazzmaster pickups, specifically voiced to replicate the sound and response of the original units from that year. These pickups use traditional materials such as cloth-covered wire, fiber bobbins, and alnico magnets, offering warm, articulate tones with a wide frequency response. The signature rhythm and lead circuit wiring provides tonal flexibility and easy access to distinctive Jazzmaster sounds.
All hardware components, including the floating tremolo system, adjustable bridge with threaded saddles, and vintage-style tuners, are designed to match the look, sound, and performance of the originals. Many of these parts are still manufactured on the same machines used during the 1950s and 1960s at Fender's original factory. The result is an instrument that offers a true vintage playing experience with the reliability and build quality of modern American production.
