Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster®

Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster® — 3-Color Sunburst

By 1966, the Jazzmaster had firmly established itself as the guitar of the California surf scene and was beginning its journey toward the indie and alternative stages where it would reign for decades to come. The Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster captures that exact moment with breathtaking period accuracy — white neck binding, pearl block inlays, single-line Fender Deluxe tuners, Pure Vintage ’66 pickups, and the signature rhythm/lead circuit that makes the Jazzmaster unlike any other guitar ever made. In classic 3-Color Sunburst with a rosewood fingerboard, this is the definitive vintage Jazzmaster experience.
