Electronics & Features

One of the biggest draws of this JM66B is the bound neck with block inlays, giving it a more refined late-’60s aesthetic compared to standard dot-neck Jazzmasters. It retains the full traditional Jazzmaster wiring, including the rhythm and lead circuits, offering a wide range of tonal options.

These Fender Japan reissues are known for their consistency and attention to detail, and this one is a great example of that era of production.

Tone & Feel

This guitar has the wide, open, and articulate tone that Jazzmasters are known for, with excellent clarity and a smooth, balanced response. It works especially well for surf, indie, alternative, punk, and clean or ambient styles.

The 7.25" radius and comfortable C-shaped neck give it a true vintage feel, while the lightweight 7 lbs 10 oz build makes it very easy to play for extended sessions.
