A Classic Fender Reissued in the Spirit of the 60s
Born in the late 1950s, the Jazzmaster established itself in surf, indie, and alternative genres thanks to its clarity and dual-circuit design. The Vintera III Mid '60s continues this identity by adopting mid-60s era specifications while offering the reliability of modern Mexican manufacturing and a refined finish.
For Which Musicians and Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a clear, spacious, and responsive tonal palette. Perfect for surf, indie, shoegaze, post-rock, pop, and delicate funk, it also shines in modern jazz thanks to its softer Rhythm circuit. Motivated beginners will find an inspiring instrument with familiar ergonomics.
The Sound
The alder/maple/rosewood combination offers a balance between crisp attack and woody mids. The two Jazzmaster single-coil pickups deliver jangly highs and excellent articulation. The Lead circuit (3-position selector, master volume and tone) provides precise twang at the bridge and silky clarity in the middle positions. The Rhythm circuit, activated by the sliding switch, isolates the neck pickup with two knobs for volume and tone, producing a darker, smoother timbre. The floating vibrato offers wide, stable pitch modulation, while the 6-saddle bridge ensures tuning stability and controlled sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
