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.
The 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.
This 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&G hardshell case.
