Fender / American Vintage 1965 Jazzmaster / 2013 / Aztec Gold / Guitar
The 2013 Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster in Aztec Gold is a classic reissue that captures the essence of what makes the Jazzmaster a favorite among players who appreciate its unique style and sound. Inspired by the original mid-'60s models, this guitar is a nod to the past while offering the reliability and playability that modern musicians demand.
The standout feature is undoubtedly its bold Aztec Gold finish, a color choice that’s sure to draw attention. While some might find it flashy, others will appreciate its retro charm, which gives a fresh take on the iconic Jazzmaster design.
Beyond its looks, this Jazzmaster is built for versatility. The floating tremolo system allows for expressive pitch bending, and the distinct pickups offer a range of tones from bright and jangly to warm and mellow. It’s a guitar that can handle everything from surf rock and indie jangle to smoky jazz chords, making it a great tool for creative expression.
The neck has a comfortable mid-’60s C profile and a vintage-style rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25" radius, which feels familiar and smooth under the fingers. It’s paired with vintage-style frets and a bone nut, adding to its authentic feel.
When plugged in, the Jazzmaster’s bridge pickup delivers bright, articulate tones that cut through the mix, perfect for rhythm work or lead lines. The neck pickup, on the other hand, provides a richer, warmer sound, ideal for more laid-back, melodic playing.
Overall, the 2013 Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster in Aztec Gold is a well-crafted instrument that appeals to players who appreciate classic Fender tones and aesthetics, with just a bit of a bold twist. Whether you're drawn to its distinctive look or its wide range of sounds, this Jazzmaster offers a compelling blend of vintage vibe and modern playability.
