A particularly historically accurate recreation of the classic '51 Tele, the Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster MN Butterscotch Blonde showcases authentic specs, classic shaping and, of course, the sound of the original. Originally introduced under the name Broadcaster in 1950, the instrument became known as the Telecaster just a year later due to a legal dispute with Gretsch, and with its straight screw-neck construction and flexible pickup setup, it abruptly captured the hearts of numerous country and blues musicians. Not without reason, the first Telecaster models of 1951 are still among the most sought-after electric guitars in the world.
Ash body with strong U-maple neck
A special feature of the Early Fifties Tele is clearly its body made of ash wood with classic singlecut design, which allows easy access to the high fingerboard positions. Also typical of the vintage is the one-piece maple neck, which features an extremely powerful 1951 U-profile and, thanks to its 7.25" fingerboard radius, conveys the authentic feel of the Early Fifties.
