General

When a classic Fender 1965 Jazzmaster is just beyond your reach, the 2012 Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster is the next best thing. This electric guitar has both the distinctive looks and sound as well as playing characteristics of the original. From the materials used to the historically-accurate construction methods, Fender has done everything possible to provide you with the authentic vintage feel. This '65 Jazzmaster has a lightweight alder body featuring a genuine, thin nitrocellulose lacquer with the right colour and Sunburst. This guitar comes in a period-correct case with original case candy replicates.

Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster in detail

Like the '65 Jaguar, the '65 Jazzmaster features an asymmetrical body with an adjustable bridge and floating tremolo with locking tailpiece. However, the Jazzmaster has a full-sized 25.5-inch scale length and is equipped with two soapbar-style single-coil pickups for a warmer, fuller sound. The 1965 Jazzmaster's most notable feature is its thin rosewood fretboard, that follows the radius of the frets, has white bindings and extra large mother-of-pearl position markers. Also, Fender equipped the American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster with vintage-correct 'Witch Hat' knobs and a set of nickel Fender Deluxe Single Line machine heads. Finally, this 3-tone Sunburst edition has a '60s-style three-layer red tortoise pickguard.

American Vintage series: more accurate than ever before

Along with the American Standard series, Fender decided to give the 2012 American Vintage series a massive update. It has been expanded with new, iconic '50s and '60s models that have a minute vintage accuracy. To get to this point, the guitar giant tracked down and studied specs and details of numerous original vintage guitars. Fender even brushed off the tools of the period to make the result as authentic as possible. Every model has been fitted with new pickups, especially wound after the specifications and sound of the vintage reference models. There's a good reason that these new models represent Fender's famed, 60-year long history in music.
