Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster RW Sherwood Green Metallic

The Fender American Vintage II series resurrects the defining instruments that helped shape modern music, offering remarkably faithful recreations of the most iconic electric guitars in history. Built using period-correct materials, authentic neck profiles, premium nitro finishes, and meticulously voiced pickups, these guitars embody Fender’s rich legacy of innovation and craftsmanship.

A Bold Classic Reimagined

Originally introduced as a top-tier instrument designed to attract jazz musicians, the Jazzmaste instead found its footing in the hands of surf rockers, indie icons, and genre-defying artists. Its distinct offset body, revolutionary electronics, and luxurious appointments made it stand out then—and continue to make it a favorite today.

The American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster stays true to that original spirit with an era-accurate build and tone. The comfortable mid-’60s "C"-shaped maple neck features a 7.25" radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard adorned with pearl block inlays and white binding, capturing the look and feel of a true 1966 Jazzmaster. Vintage-tall frets offer modern playability while staying true to classic Fender design.

Authentic Appointments & Signature Sound

In typical 1966 fashion, this model comes with single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners and, on custom color versions, a matching painted headstock—details that elevate its vintage appeal. The dual Pure Vintage '66 Jazzmaster pickups are wired to the Jazzmaster’s iconic lead/rhythm circuit, delivering the jangly highs, warm lows, and expressive midrange that made this guitar a studio and stage staple.

The patented floating tremolo system and adjustable bridge with threaded saddles offer smooth vibrato action and reliable tuning stability, preserving the unique feel and functionality players expect from a Jazzmaster.

Fender, Pure and Simple

Every instrument in the American Vintage II series is a love letter to Fender’s golden era. The 1966 Jazzmaster is no exception—offering timeless aesthetics, unmistakable tone, and uncompromising build quality. It’s a must-have for players and collectors alike who value vintage authenticity and the unmistakable feel of a Fender in its purest form.
