A hallmark of 1951 production, the 12th-fret dot inlay spacing is closely set, and the only Phillips-head screw on the guitar is on the truss rod nut. The three-brass-saddle bridge, "Fender Deluxe" in-line tuning machines and Pure Vintage '51 Telecaster pickups deliver the classic twang and authentic Fender style.American Vintage II series instruments are the direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for musicians who truly appreciate vintage Fender tone and response, they are built with unmatched quality, down to the very last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff legends are made of.

The Jazzmaster® was originally marketed as the guitar that contained "every famous Fender innovation", where "all the advantages" were present. Designed to deliver a top-tier playing experience and tempt jazz guitarists into switching to a solidbody electric, this futuristic, supremely comfortable offset is about as far from a squared-off archtop as one could imagine. As might have been predicted, the guitar failed to win over jazz players, but it was quickly embraced by surf musicians in the 1960s, and later by indie-rock, alternative, and even country guitarists. The Jazzmaster American Vintage II 1966 features a comfortable "C"-profile maple neck with unbeatable playability, a 7.25" (18.415 cm) radius round-laminated (concave-back) rosewood fingerboard, and vintage-height frets. Characteristic of 1966 production, this guitar is offered with white neck binding, rectangular pearloid inlays, "Fender Deluxe" in-line tuning machines, and a matching headstock (custom colours only). The patented "floating" tremolo, adjustable bridge with threaded saddles, and Pure Vintage '66 Jazzmaster pickups, wired to create the unmistakable rhythm and lead circuits, produce classic tones and all the feel of a true Fender. American Vintage II series instruments are the direct descendants of the original Fenders: built for players who truly appreciate vintage Fender tone and response, they're built with unmatched quality down to the very last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff legends are made of.Alder Body Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish Pure Vintage '66 Single-Coil Jazzmaster® Pickups "C" Neck Profile Rosewood Fingerboard with Laminated Concave Back and Binding, Pearloid Blocks and Matching Headstock Pure Vintage "Fender Deluxe" In-Line Tuning Machines
