Description
Nothing's more classic than a '51 Tele in a Butterscotch Blonde finish adorned with two twangin' pickups and a simple black pickguard. Fender's American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster pays tribute to those legendary first-year Teles, and it's a remarkable guitar in every facet of design.
This Tele features an ash body finished in Butterscotch Blonde, giving it a rich, sweet tone and a charming vintage aesthetic. Its substantial '51 "U" shaped hard rock maple neck is great for players who love playing chunky riffs and chugging chorded passages, and its 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets offer an excellent feel. Players who love that signature Telecaster twang will love this guitar's Pure Vintage '51 Telecaster pickups that churn out a stellar array of old-school tones that are perfect for blues, rock, R&B, and everything in between. And thanks to its triple brass saddle bridge and single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners, this axe looks, feels, and plays just like a vintage Telecaster.
Complete with a vintage-style tweed hardshell case for safe transportation, the Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster is an old-school guitarist's dream come true.
