Historically accurate replica of a Fender Jazzmaster from the Sixties.
Thanks to historically accurate Sixties specifications, the Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster RW Dakota Red symbolizes the feel and sound of the former Fender flagship model, which was originally designed for jazz musicians but made its mark on rock history in the hands of wild surf, grunge and indie bands. Under the custom color nitrocellulose finish with matching headstock, the electric guitar naturally hides an alder body in comfortable Offset-Design and a bolt-on maple neck with bound "Round Laminated" rosewood fingerboard. Two Pure Vintage '66 Jazzmaster single coils and electrics split into lead and rhythm circuits promise rich clean and overdrive tones with distinctive character. Of course, Fender completes the American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster RW Dakota Red with a Pure Vintage "Floating" tremolo tailpiece, the classic 6-saddle Jazzmaster bridge and precise Pure Vintage tuners.
The Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster RW Dakota Red impresses thanks to historically accurate specifications and an authentic playing and sound experience.
The offset alder body and the narrow "1966 C" maple neck are bolted together using the classic Fender method.
Traditional Jazzmaster Construction
The construction of the American Vintage II 1966 naturally uses classic manufacturing methods and tonewoods to guarantee an authentic playing and sound experience. Thanks to the offset design with large-scale comfort shapings and rounded edges, the alder body impresses with comfortable handling. The bolt-on maple neck also carries the historically accurate "Round Laminated" rosewood fingerboard with binding, which is glued to the rounding provided by the neck blank and features large block inlays to mark the courses. The narrow "1966 C" neck profile with traditional 7.25" fingerboard radius also promises excellent playing characteristics up to the highest registers.
Pure Vintage '66 Jazzmaster single coils and passive electrics with lead and rhythm circuits provide versatile guitar tones.
Authentic vintage sounds
At the guitar amp, the American Vintage II '66 Jazzmaster delivers a variety of vintage tones, whose métier is not only the reverb-dripping cleans of surf rock, but also a distinctive Distortion for alternative rock styles and grunge. Due to the special design with a wide and flat wound "pancake" coil, the Pure Vintage '66 Jazzmaster single-coil pickups, designed on the basis of historical models, deliver particularly warm tones with the transparency typical of single coils. naturally, the pickups are supported by passive electrics divided into lead and rhythm circuits, which contribute significantly to the diverse sound spectrum of the electric guitar. While the rhythm circuit exclusively combines the neck pickup with the volume and tone controls of the upper body horn, the lead circuit with 3-way pickup switch as well as Master-Volume and master tone grants full control over the sound image.
Pure Vintage Single Line tuners with historically correct embossing keep the American Vintage II Jazzmaster securely in the correct tuning.
Historically accurate hardware equipment
Last but not least, historically accurate matched attachments complete the American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster RW Dakota Red electric guitar from Fender. The Pure Vintage floating tremolo serves as the tailpiece, which not only allows pitch modulation up and down, but can also be locked in place at lightning speed via the lock button if desired. The classic 6-saddle Jazzmaster bridge with ribbed steel string riders also guarantees precise intonation and string action adjustment. On the headstock, which is lacquered to match the body, a bone nut and Fender Pure Vintage Single Line tun er also ensure accurate and robust tuning of the guitar.
