Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Lake Placid Blue American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster is a right-handed, six-string offset built with an alder body, maple neck, and Pure Vintage ’66 single-coil Jazzmaster pickups. A slide switch changes between lead controls—master volume and tone—and a rhythm circuit with neck-pickup volume and tone thumbwheels. Threaded steel barrel saddles sit on the Pure Vintage bridge, while the floating tremolo and push-in arm offer hands-on pitch variation. It arrives with a vintage-style black case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Changing from lead controls to the neck-pickup rhythm circuit during performance.
- Using a floating tremolo for subtle or more pronounced pitch movement.
- Players who want a 7.25-inch-radius fingerboard with 21 vintage-tall frets.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; the listed orientation is right handed.
