The Fender American Vintage II series is not only visually based on the historical designs that made music history. We have also reproduced many details that were typical of the period: bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and pickups that are carefully matched to the tone of the original model year. Thanks to traditional Fender craftsmanship, each instrument embodies the authentic character and sound of the respective original model.
The late 50s and early 60s were crucial for the development of the Precision Bass. Many new details were added that are now synonymous with the P-Bass. In 1960, there was not much left of its original Telecaster design; it now had a Strat-style headstock, ergonomic contours, electronics in the pickguard and a bridge with four string saddles. The 1960 Precision Bass represents exactly this phase.
The American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass is equipped with a premium alder body, Pure Vintage 60 split-coil P-Bass pickup and a solid hard rock maple neck in a C profile with a rosewood 7.25" slab fingerboard. This means that the grumpy rebel plays and sounds like its famous ancestor.
The American Vintage II series brings classic Fender models back to their original form. Ideal for musicians who love our vintage tone and the feel that goes with it and appreciate the highest quality - right down to the last screw. Fender American Vintage II. The stuff legends are made of.
