Profile of Fender American Vintage '62 Jazzmaster

Overview

Introduced in 1958, the Jazzmaster® guitar was the first Fender instrument to feature an offset-waist body, a rosewood fingerboard, separate lead and rhythm circuits with separate volume and tone controls, a floating bridge and floating/locking tremolo. The American Vintage ’62 Jazzmaster has the distinctive look and sound of the original, including the warm-sounding pickups, original lead and rhythm circuit switching, and floating tremolo with tremolo lock.
