Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster Dakota Red RW Electric Guitar with Case

General

Want to play an authentic, offset Fender guitar from the mid-sixties without shelling out for a real vintage model? Check out the 1966 Jazzmaster in Fender's high-end American Vintage II Series. Every last detail of the original models has been carefully reproduced to offer you the same playing feel, looks and sounds. That means that every contouring, finish and piece of hardware is fully period-correct and feels the same way as any Jazzmaster built back in '66.

The American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster: The Right '60s Sounds and Finish

The ash body and bolt-on 1966 C-profile maple neck both feature a nitrocellulose lacquer finish, allowing the full foundation sound of this classic offset axe to ring out naturally. So the sound can be faithfully amplified, Fender have decked this 1966 Jazzmaster out with this two specially-made Pure Vintage '66 Single-Coil pickups, which come wired up to a Lead/Rhythm circuit switch to unlock all of the original sounds.

Fully Vintage in Every Way

The size and finish add up in terms of vintage validity, but so does the neck thanks to the slightly rounder, 7.25-inch round-laminated rosewood fretboard, 21 vintage tall frets and pearloid position markers. Keeping the hardware in tune with the original, this '66 Jazzmaster comes finished with a Pure Vintage vintage, steel barrel saddles, a floating tremolo tailpiece and single-line machine heads. Lastly, like every Fender American Vintage II Series model, the guitar includes a brown vintage-style case as standard.
