Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster Ltd (USA, MN) - black

Solid body electric guitar, limited edition with 3A flame Maple neck/fretboard and Custom Shop Texas Special, crafted in USA.

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 body, neck and hardware, premium finish and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, FENDER Limited Edition American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster (0170312806) solid body electric guitar captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

Just one year after launching the Broadcaster®, Fender received a cease-and-desist telegram from the Fred Gretsch Mfg. Co. and was faced with renaming its flagship electric guitar. Taking inspiration from the booming growth and expansive reach of television, the first blackguard Telecaster rolled off the line in late 1951, and the model has been in continuous production ever since. Deceptively simple and totally groundbreaking, the Telecaster® brought the solid body electric guitar to the masses, inspiring countless musicians along the way.

The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.
