The Limited Edition American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster is a faithful reimagining of one of Fender’s most distinctive offset designs. Originally introduced as a top-of-the-line model intended to lure jazz musicians into the world of solidbody electrics, the Jazzmaster instead found a devoted following in surf, garage, indie-alternative, and experimental rock scenes. This 1966 reissue perfectly captures the vibe of the original, from its bound rosewood fretboard and pearloid block inlays to its iconic offset silhouette and wide-ranging dual-circuit wiring.

Built in the USA as part of the American Vintage II series, this model features a period-correct alder body finished in black nitrocellulose lacquer and a beautifully flamed 3A maple neck with a smooth satin back and glossy matching headstock. The bound rosewood fingerboard plays like a dream thanks to its medium jumbo frets and modern 9.5" radius, offering an ideal blend of vintage styling and contemporary comfort. The Custom Shop Fat ‘60s single-coil pickups deliver warm, woody lows and shimmering highs — perfect for clean surf tones, lo-fi jangle, or gritty alt-rock crunch.

Whether you’re a Jazzmaster devotee or a first-time offset explorer, this American Vintage II 1966 model offers a pure and expressive playing experience. Its floating tremolo, lead/rhythm circuit, and classic tones make it a versatile and rewarding instrument for guitarists who value nuance, creativity, and individuality in their sound. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this offset icon ships with a cool striped tweed hardshell case for convenient transport and premium protection.
