Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jazzmaster® was originally advertised as a guitar that contained \"all the well-known Fender developments,\" where \"every convenience is provided.\" Intended to provide a luxury playing experience and tempt jazz guitarists into playing solidbody electric guitars, this futuristic and comfort-contoured offset is about as far from a boxy archtop as can be imagined. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the guitar failed to catch on with the jazz crowd, but instead gained early acceptance with '60s surf, and later, indie-rock, alternative, and even country players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Limited-Edition instrument features 3A Flame Maple neck with a more modern fingerboard radius of 9.5\", for a premium look and great feel. You'll also find Fender Custom Shop Fat '60s Pickups, which deliver a slightly hotter tone than you'd usually expect from a 1960s style Jazzmaster pickup. Also included is an upgraded, period correct G\u0026amp;G hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBody\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Jazzmaster®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Style: Solid Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock: Jazzmaster®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: 3A Flame Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer with Gloss Matching Headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 1966 \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Construction: 4-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Bound Round-Laminated Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 9.5\" (241 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition Inlays: Pearloid Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Dots: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Size: Medium Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Vintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Nut: Vintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHardware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Pure Vintage Jazzmaster® with Threaded Steel Barrel Saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge\/Tailpiece: Pure Vintage Floating Tremolo with Tremolo Lock Button and Push-In Tremolo Arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Mounting: Floating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: 3-Ply Parchment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Covers: Aged White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: White \"Witch Hat\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip: Aged White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\/Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Pure Vintage Single Line \"Fender Deluxe\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Trees: Butterfly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel (.010-.046 Gauges)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTremolo Arm: Pop-In Vintage-Style Jazzmaster®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: 4-Bolt with \"F\" Logo, Serialized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Custom Shop Fat '60s Single-Coil Jazzmaster®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Custom Shop Fat '60s Single-Coil Jazzmaster®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead Circuit Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhythm Circuit Controls: Two Thumbwheel Controls for Neck Pickup Volume and Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitching: 3-Position Toggle Switch (Lead Circuit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuxiliary Switching: 2-Position On\/Off Slide Switch for Selecting Lead and Rhythm Circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMiscellaneous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-Handed Electric Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Fender\u003cbr\u003eModel: 0170340806\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I834299-N-2-WHXB\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 885978795246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
