Vintage Fender style and tone, with a Pure Vintage ’77 single-coil Tele pickup and authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range humbucker.
The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom includes a Wide-Range humbucker in the neck position and a Pure Vintage ’77 single-coil Tele pickup in the bridge position. To create an authentic Wide-Range humbucker, Fender resurrected CuNiFe magnets, which had been out of production since 1981, and are an essential element in recreating the sonics of the original. The Tele Custom plays like a dream with a ’77 C-shaped hard rock maple neck with a 7.25"-radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Additional appointments include a Tele bridge with 6 slotted steel barrel saddles, "F"-stamped tuners, a convenient "Bullet"-style truss rod nut and a three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt mechanism. This cool custom guitar comes with a vintage-style black case with an orange interior.
The Fender American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.
