Fender Vintera II 50s Jazzmaster Electric Guitar - Sonic Blue

Own an instrument that feels special the moment you pick it up. The Fender Vintera II 50s Jazzmaster Electric Guitar - Sonic Blue is a premium electric guitar for South African players who want refined tone, strong build quality and a guitar that can sit comfortably in a serious collection or working stage rig.

Fender Vintera II 50s Jazzmaster Electric Guitar - Sonic Blue Capture the looks, feel, and tone of the Jazzmaster’s earliest era with Fender’s Vintera II ’50s Jazzmaster. This guitar’s alder body boasts two Vintage-style late-’50 pickups and a traditional Jazzmaster rhythm circuit to supply you with everything from legendary Jazzmaster chime to rich, mellow Jazz-ready tones. The maple neck’s late ’50s “C” profile clocks in at a much more manageable size than your typical 1950s Fender baseball bat neck. Meanwhile, the fingerboard boasts a 7.25-inch-radius rosewood slab fingerboard for vintage authenticity. And it simply wouldn’t be a vintage-style Jazzmaster without the surf- and shoegaze-approved offset-standard “Floating” tremolo bridge and tailpiece! A charming array of old-school aesthetic appointments completes the package, including a glittering 1-ply hold anodized aluminum pickguard and vintage-inspired finishes. Overall, the Vintera II ’50s Jazzmaster is Fender’s remarkably accurate tribute to the Jazzmaster’s late-1950s launch, making for a must-have addition to any offset fanatic’s 6-string stable. Warm and mellow 1950s-inspired Jazzmaster pickups Warmer and less treble-heavy than the bright, sizzling sound of a 1960s Jazzmaster, the Fender Vintera II ’50s Jazzmaster’ harkens back to the era when the Jazzmaster was still intended to be used as a jazz guitar. Worry not, offset fans — this guitar’s vintage-style late-’50 pickups still sport the legendary sparkle and clarity of a vintage Jazzmaster single-coil. Still, it’s a slightly rounded-over sparkle with a woodier character overall. If you can’t live without a jazz-ready Jazzmaster tone, flip up the Fender Vintera II ’50s Jazzmaster’s upper-horn rhythm circuit to be greeted by a decidedly dark, moody, and mellow tonal preset that serves as a perfect foil to traditional Fender single-coil snap. The return of rosewood Fender’s Vintera II series marks a return to traditional rosewood fingerboards — a particularly fitting choice for this guitar, as the Jazzmasters that inspired the Vintera II ’50s Jazzmaster were the very first Fender models to receive a rosewood fingerboard in the first place. The Vintera II ’50s Jazzmaster keeps the vintage-correct train rolling with a 7.25-inch radius for easy chording and a comfortable late ’50s “C” maple neck. And while this guitar’s vintage-tall frets aren’t 100% era-accurate on paper, even most die-hard vintage fanatics couldn’t help but admire how these frets retain the fast, nimble feel of diminutive vintage-style Fender frets while offering just a bit more height to hold onto. Shimmer, sway, and glide with Fender’s “floating” tremolo From subtle surfy sway to seasick shoegaze-inspired textures, the Fender “floating” tremolo system offers an expressive feel you can’t get anywhere else. While the system is undoubtedly revered for its rock-solid stability and effortlessly smooth feel, it’s also a critical tonal element to the offset guitar experience. Why? The traditional Fender offset trem and rocking bridge setup features a lower break angle than many other Fender guitars, resulting in a sharper attack that quickly fades to make room for the rest of your notes. It’s a wholly unique tone from any other Fender creation and a surefire way to stand out from the crowd.

Why It Stands Out

This electric guitar is best considered by players who care about pickup character, tuning stability, sustain, fret access and confident amplified performance. The appeal is not only the brand name on the headstock; it is the way the instrument responds to touch, how it holds its place in a mix, and how confidently it can move between practice, recording and performance.
