By 1960, the design of the P-bass had eclipsed the earlier cues culled from the Telecaster® - now the P-bass had a Strat®-style headstock shape, comfort-contours, pickguard mounted electronics and 4-saddle bridge. Adorned in 3-Color Sunburst and topped with a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, the 1960 Precision Bass represented a more refined, enduring aesthetic for the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a premium alder body, Pure Vintage '60 Split-Coil P-Bass pickup and a substantial \"C\" shape hard rock maple neck mated with a 7.25\" radius slab rosewood fingerboard, the American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw.
