Fender American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass, Rosewood Fingerboard, Olympic White Overview
The Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster is a meticulously crafted reissue that captures the essence of a pivotal era in music history. Its alder body, finished with a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, not only provides a resonant and balanced tone but also allows the wood to breathe, enhancing its natural resonance.
The maple neck features a 1966 “C” shape, offering a comfortable grip reminiscent of the original design. Topped with a bound round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, it provides a smooth playing surface, complemented by a 7.25-inch radius and vintage tall frets, facilitating effortless chording and articulate lead work.
Equipped with Pure Vintage '66 Jazzmaster pickups, this guitar delivers the classic Jazzmaster tone—warm, rich, and versatile. The unique rhythm and lead circuits, along with the floating tremolo system, offer a wide range of tonal possibilities, making it suitable for various musical styles.
Aesthetically, the instrument features period-accurate appointments, including white neck binding, pearloid block inlays, single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners, and, on custom colors, a matching painted headstock. These details contribute to its authentic '60s appearance, appealing to players who appreciate vintage style.
