Vintage Fender style and tone, with a duo of '51 single-coil Tele pickups.
This Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster electric guitar features an ash body finished to capture the tone and look of the original. The substantial ’51 U-shaped hard rock maple neck plays like a dream, with a 7.25" radius fingerboard and 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 American Vintage II 1951 Tele comes with a vintage-style tweed case with a crushed red interior.
