Independent shopping perspective
In Olympic White, the Classic Vibe ’60s Jazzmaster combines dual Fender-Designed alnico single-coils with dedicated rhythm and lead circuits. The rhythm circuit selects the neck pickup only and uses two thumbwheel controls; the lead circuit provides neck, combined, or bridge selection with separate neck and bridge volumes plus master tone. A slim C-shaped maple neck, 9.5-inch laurel fingerboard, and 21 narrow-tall frets meet a 25.5-inch scale. The six-saddle non-locking floating vibrato bridge supplies its tremolo function.
