Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster Rosewood Fingerboard Lake Placid Blue

Step back in time to 1975 with Fender®'s meticulous recreation of the groundbreaking Telecaster® Deluxe, a guitar that redefined what a Tele could be. The American Vintage II series captures the revolutionary spirit of Fender®'s most significant designs through period–accurate construction, premium finishes, and meticulously voiced pickups that honour authentic craftsmanship and tone.

Originally launched in 1972 as the flagship Telecaster® model, the Telecaster Deluxe broke new ground as Fender®'s first solid–body Tele featuring dual humbucking pickups. This faithful 1975 recreation maintains the distinctive large Stratocaster®–style headstock, comfort–contoured belly cut, and pair of Wide Range humbuckers mounted on an elongated pickguard. The authentic Wide–Range pickups utilise resurrected CuNiFe magnets—out of production since 1981—which are essential for recreating the original’s distinctive sonic character.

Built around a ‘75 “C”–shape hard rock maple neck with 9.5” radius maple fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, this Telecaster plays beautifully while maintaining period–correct details like the “Bullet” style truss rod nut and three–bolt neck plate with Micro–Tilt™ mechanism. Available in Black, Mocha Brown, or 3–Colour Sunburst over an alder body, it features a 6–Saddle hardtail bridge with stainless steel block saddles and vintage–accurate Tele® Deluxe tuners. The American Vintage II series represents Fender electrics in their purest form—built for players who appreciate vintage tone and feel with uncompromising quality down to every component.
