Fender Vintera III Mid ’60s Jazzmaster, Rosewood Fingerboard – Candy Apple Red

Description

The Fender Vintera III Mid ’60s Jazzmaster in Candy Apple Red delivers the unmistakable look, feel and sound of a classic mid sixties offset, with modern build consistency and rock-solid reliability. With its jangly single-coils, floating tremolo and dual-circuit wiring, it is a superb choice for players chasing authentic vintage character, from surf and indie to alternative and ambient soundscapes.

At its core, this Jazzmaster pairs an alder body with a maple neck and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard for that familiar Fender snap, clarity and warmth. A comfortable mid ’60s C neck profile, vintage-tall frets and a 7.25 inch radius give you a period-correct playing feel that invites expressive chords and melodic leads. Under the bonnet, a set of vintage-style mid ’60s Jazzmaster single-coils capture the bright top end, woody mids and airy resonance that made the original such a studio and stage favourite.

The classic floating tremolo system and rhythm/lead circuit switching provide a huge palette of tones and textures at your fingertips. From shimmering chords with subtle vibrato to darker, rolled-off rhythm sounds, the Vintera III Mid ’60s Jazzmaster rewards players who love to explore dynamics and nuance. Finished in a stunning Candy Apple Red with period-correct appointments, it looks every bit as inspiring as it sounds.
