Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline Maple Fingerboard Lake Placid Blue

Step into the world of authentic vintage Fender craftsmanship with the American Vintage II series, where revolutionary designs that shaped musical history are recreated with meticulous attention to detail. These instruments feature period–accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and carefully voiced, year–specific pickups that capture the true essence of classic Fender tone and construction.

Originally marketed as containing "all the well–known Fender developments" with "every convenience provided," the Jazzmaster® was designed to offer a luxury playing experience aimed at attracting jazz guitarists to solidbody electric instruments. This futuristic, comfort–contoured offset design couldn’t be further from a traditional boxy archtop. While it didn’t win over the jazz community as intended, the guitar found its calling with ’60s surf musicians and later became a favourite among indie–rock, alternative, and country players.

The American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster showcases a comfortable "C" shape maple neck paired with a 7.25" radius round–lam rosewood fingerboard and vintage tall frets for exceptional playability. True to 1966 production specifications, this model includes white neck binding, pearl blocks, single–line "Fender Deluxe" tuners and matching painted headstock on custom colours. The patented "floating" tremolo system, adjustable bridge with threaded saddles and Pure Vintage ’66 Jazzmaster pickups are wired to the signature rhythm and lead circuits for classic tone and authentic feel.

As direct descendants of the original Fenders, the American Vintage II series represents electric guitars in their purest form, built for players who appreciate vintage Fender tone and constructed with unmatched quality down to every component. These instruments embody the legendary craftsmanship that made Fender a cornerstone of modern music.
