Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster - Butterscotch Blonde w/ Case

The Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster pays tribute to the iconic model that started it all. Available at Guitar Center, this premium electric guitar is painstakingly crafted to capture the look, sound and feel of the original 1951 Telecaster, Fender's first commercially successful electric guitar. Built with a solid ash body and maple neck, the '51 Telecaster produces the twangy, articulated tone that defined the Tele® legend. It features a comfortable 1951 U shaped neck profile, 7.25" fretboard radius and 21 vintage tall frets that facilitate chords and lead lines with equal ease. Powering this ax are a pair of Pure Vintage '51 Telecaster single-coil pickups, which provide the crisp, punchy tone that helped revolutionize popular music. From its vintage style hardware to its Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish, the American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster is a spot-on recreation of this seminal Fender classic.
