Product Description
Matching instantly recognisable looks with premium build-quality, the American Vintage II Telecaster is built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups giving you the classic Fender experience. Now available in a very limited Prototype White finish.
Key Features
- Ash Body - Ash delivers a bright attack, good articulation, and a natural resonance to your guitar tone.
- Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish - This finish creates a smooth playing experience on the neck, and highlights the woodgrain underneath.
- "U" Shaped Neck Profile - Good for players who are more comfortable with thier thumb on the back or side of the neck.
- Hardcase Included - Protect and carry the telecaster with ease thanks to the included hardcase.
The American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster features an Ash body. The substantial '51 "U" shaped hard rock Maple neck plays exceptionally smooth & features vintage tall frets.
Characteristic of production in 1951, 12th fret face-dot spacing is narrow and the sole Phillips-head fastener on the guitar is at the truss rod nut. The triple brass saddle bridge, single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners and Pure Vintage '51 Telecaster pickups deliver classic twang and authentic Fender style.
The Story Of The Infamous Telecaster
Just one year after launching the Broadcaster, Fender received a cease-and-desist telegram from the Fred Gretsch Mfg. Co. and was faced with renaming its flagship electric guitar. Taking inspiration from the booming growth and expansive reach of television, the first blackguard Telecaster rolled off the line in 1951, and the model has been in continuous production ever since. Deceptively simple and totally groundbreaking, the Telecaster brought the solid body electric guitar to the masses, inspiring countless musicians along the way.
