Highlights of the Classic Series 1960 Jazzmaster electric guitar
Vintage-Style Frets
This is the smallest fret size, neither as tall nor as wide as medium jumbo frets. This is how Fender used to make them back in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, and is the comfortable way to go for those who grew up with them or simply prefer the feel of smaller frets.
7.25″ Fingerboard Radius
The fingerboard radius is an important spec that describes the curvature of the fingerboard. This instrument has a 7.25″ fingerboard radius, with a more pronounced “vintage-style” curvature typical of vintage Fender guitars from the 1950’s, ’60 and ’70s. It’s comfortable for chords and a great choice for those who prefer the feel of vintage instruments or a rounder fingerboard.
New American Vintage Pickups
This Classic 60s Jazzmaster Lacquer features specially voiced American Vintage pickups meticulously researched and crafted to reproduce the authentic design, voice and performance of the great Fender guitars of the 1960s.
Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish
Nitrocellulose lacquer is one of the great original-era Fender electric guitar finishes, and is still used today on select instruments. Thin, porous and delicate, it’s a premium finish prized for sonic qualities that let body woods breathe and showcase its true tonal character. Lacquer also ages and wears in a distinctive way that appeals to many players.
“C” Neck Profile
The neck of this instrument has a comfortable “C” shaped neck profile, sculpted to impart a vintage-style playing feel from Fender’s first golden age in the 1950s and ’60s. The most prevalent neck profile shape, it’s remarkably comfortable and ideal for all playing styles.
Vintage-Style Bridge with Floating Tremolo
An addition to its other authentic 1960s-era design elements, this guitar features a fully adjustable vintage-style bridge with six saddles and “floating” tremolo tailpiece.
