The Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster LH MN Butterscotch Blonde at a glance
A particularly historically accurate recreation of the classic '51 Tele, the Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster LH 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 conquered 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 ash wood body 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.
Pure Vintage '51 Single Coils
The two Fender Pure Vintage '51 Tele Single Coils of the Fender 1951 Telecaster LH MN Butterscotch Blonde follow the traditional design of the early Telecaster pickups and use authentic materials and production steps. This also uses a classic electric layout with 3-way blade switch and a common volume, and tone control, which gives the Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster MN Butterscotch Blonde its unique voice with distinctive twang and growl.
Classic Hardware & Nitrocellulose finish.
All hardware parts of the Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster LH MN Butterscotch Blonde come from the in-house Fender Pure Vintage Collection, which clearly focuses on reproducing classic hardware designs of the golden Fender era. Accordingly, a faithful Pure Vintage 3-saddle Tele bridge with brass tailpieces is used, while six Pure Vintage "Fender Deluxe" tuners provide the classic headstock look. Of course, Fender gives the American Vintage II Telecaster furthermore a nitrocellulose finish that develops a tasteful ageing with time.
