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. 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking inspiration from the booming growth and expansive reach of television, the first blackguard Telecaster rolled off the line in 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 American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster features an ash body finished in Butterscotch Blonde to capture the tone and look of the original. The substantial '51 \"U\"-shaped hard rock maple neck plays like a dream with a 7.25\" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Characteristic of production in 1951, 12th fret face-dot spacing is narrow and the sole Phillips-head fastener on the guitar is at the truss rod nut. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe triple brass saddle bridge, single-line \"Fender Deluxe\" tuners and Pure Vintage '51 Telecaster pickups deliver classic twang and authentic Fender style. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsh Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Vintage '51 Tele® pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"U\"-Shaped Neck Profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Vintage 3-Saddle Tele® with Brass Barrel Saddles, Serialized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Vintage Single-Line \"Fender Deluxe\" Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSKU:0110312850\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Finish\u003c\/b\u003e: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/b\u003e: Telecaster®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Mounting\u003c\/b\u003e: 4-Screw Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Pickup\u003c\/b\u003e: Pure Vintage '51 Single-Coil Tele®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge\u003c\/b\u003e: Pure Vintage 3-Saddle Tele® with Brass Barrel Saddles, Serialized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColor\u003c\/b\u003e: Butterscotch Blonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/b\u003e: SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs\u003c\/b\u003e: Knurled Dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eControls\u003c\/b\u003e: Master Volume, Master Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHardware Finish\u003c\/b\u003e: Nickel\/Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePickguard\u003c\/b\u003e: 1-Ply Black Phenolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStyle\u003c\/b\u003e: 2 Single-Coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSwitching\u003c\/b\u003e: 3-Position Blade: Position 1.
