The Fender® American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history.
Built with period-accurate body, neck and hardware, premium finish and meticulously voicedFender Custom Shop Fat '60s, FENDER Limited Edition American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster (0170340806) solid body electric guitar captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.
The Jazzmaster® was originally advertised as a guitar that contained "all the well-known Fender developments," where "every convenience is provided." Intended to provide a luxury playing experience and tempt jazz guitarists into playing solidbody electric guitars, this futuristic and comfort-contoured offset is about as far from a boxy archtop as can be imagined. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the guitar failed to catch on with the jazz crowd, but instead gained early acceptance with '60s surf, and later, indie-rock, alternative, and even country players.
