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.

Wrote the following about Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster Lake Placid Blue RW Electric Guitar with Case
"Une Jazzmaster ? non merci. Forme trop bizarre pour moi. Aucun artiste parmi mes préférés n'a joué avec ce modèle de guitare. Et puis c'est juste une guitare de surfer c'est pas pour moi."
Episode 2 :
Je vois cette Jazzmaster Lake Placid Blue dans un magasin, elle attire mon oeil. La finition est dingue. La guitare à l'air d'excellente facture mais... c'est une Jazzmaster. Je craque sur une Stratocaster American Vintage II 1961 Fiesta Red qui devient vite ma petite préférée de la collection.
Episode 3 :
Mon prof de guitare me dit, "tu connais les Jazzmaster ? Ce sont des guitare incroyables qui ne ressemblent à aucune autre et dont on ne mesure pas la portée"
Cette Lake Placid Blue refait surface dans un mail de Bax avec un tarif qui invite à faire le saut.
Elle est arrivée chez moi. Coup de foudre immédiat par son style et son esprit vintage des années 60 que j'affectionne. Une lutherie irréprochable (sauf peut être le pontet qui est fidèle mais probablement pas l'invention du siècle). Tellement facile à jouer et tellement riche en sonorités. Du pur bonheur.
J'ai un seul problème, elle est en train de devenir ma préférée...
Si vous aussi vous vous dites "une offset, une Jazzmaster, non merci...", en toute modestie j'ai juste un peu d'avance sur vous :)
Foncez sur cette série si vous aimez le vintage et que vous ne voulez pas investir dans une Custom Shop
