Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster (2016)
“New American Vintage Series”: a ground‑up revision of the American Vintage Reissue based on vintage research—reworked neck profiles, pickups, and finishing.
This 1965‑spec model features a round‑laminated rosewood fingerboard, 7.25" radius, vintage‑style frets and thin nitrocellulose lacquer.
Unlike later American Original models (9.5" radius, fatter frets), this one prioritizes authentic vintage feel and tone.
