Panstaking vintage accuracy graces this guitar
For the American Vintage '63 Precision Bass^®, Fender tracked down several of the original '63s and exhaustively analyzed them to ensure a painstaking level of vintage accuracy. Every facet of the original instruments - including minute details such as curves, perimeters, radii and more - was examined, measured, evaluated, and ultimately incorporated into the American Vintage '63 Precision. What you see in this remarkable axe is more than the sum of its parts. It's a highly playable, eminently musical-sounding recreation of an iconic instrument that changed music forever.

Beauty, tone, and playability
With Fender's American Vintage '63 Precision Bass, there's genius in the details. This remarkable guitar's beauty, tone, and playability are no accident. Originally sporting a non-contoured "slab" body at its 1951 launch, the Precision received its first makeover for the '54/'55 model year, gaining the comfortable Strat-like body contours we know and love. In 1957, Fender gave its groundbreaking electric bass its second design overhaul, which included an innovative, hum-canceling split single-coil pickup that pumps out a strong fundamental with a dose of characteristic "P Bass growl." In 1958, a rosewood slab fretboard replaced the Precision's one-piece maple neck; in '62, Fender switched to radiused and laminated rosewood fingerboards. All that rich history is here, in the American Vintage '63 Precision Bass. It all adds up to the best-playing, sounding, and looking vintage-flavored production P Bass^® yet.
