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

The Fender Vintera III Mid '60s Jazzmaster is a meticulously crafted vintage recreation designed for guitarists who want authentic period-correct feel, tone, and aesthetics from one of Fender's most iconic offset body designs. Finished in Candy Apple Red with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, this guitar suits players drawn to surf, indie, shoegaze, and alternative styles who want genuine vintage character without the cost or unpredictability of an original instrument.

Built around an alder body paired with a maple neck, the Jazzmaster features a 7.25" radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with vintage-tall frets for comfortable bends and expressive vibrato. The mid '60s "C"-shaped neck profile is comfortably rounded, starting slim at the nut and thickening moderately toward the 12th fret. Two vintage-style mid '60s spec Jazzmaster single-coil pickups deliver warm, woody midrange with bright, jangly character and smooth attack. The vintage-style floating tremolo with push-in tremolo arm provides classic Jazzmaster warble ranging from subtle shimmer to dramatic dives, while the lead/rhythm circuit allows players to switch between preset tones on the fly — a hallmark of the offset Fender design.

Period-correct details throughout give this guitar an authentic '60s appearance and playing feel. The vintage-style tuning machines deliver reliable tuning stability alongside era-appropriate aesthetics. The lead/rhythm circuit is particularly useful in live performance contexts, enabling quick tonal shifts without adjusting amp settings. This is a well-specified instrument for players who want a genuine Vintera III series Jazzmaster experience in a classic Candy Apple Red finish.
