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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust 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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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. The triple brass saddle bridge, single-line \"Fender Deluxe\" tuners and Pure Vintage '51 Telecaster pickups deliver classic twang and authentic Fender style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Telecaster®\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBody Material: Ash\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeadstock: Telecaster\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Material: 1-Piece Maple\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 1951 \"U\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Construction: 4-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePosition Inlays: Black Dot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSide Dots: Black\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFret Size: Vintage Tall\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (64.77 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Vintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Nut: Vintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eString Nut: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBridge: Pure Vintage 3-Saddle Tele® with Brass Barrel Saddles, Serialized\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBridge Cover\/Tailpiece: Includes Chrome Bridge Cover\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBridge Mounting: 4-Screw Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePickguard: 1-Ply Black Phenolic\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePickup Covers: Neck: Chrome; Bridge: Black\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: Knurled Dome\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip: Barrel Style, Black\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\/Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Pure Vintage Single Line \"Fender Deluxe\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eString Trees: Dual-Wing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrings: Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel (.010-.046 Gauges)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: 4-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Pure Vintage '51 Single-Coil Tele®\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Pure Vintage '51 Single-Coil Tele®\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: SS\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eControls: Master Volume, Master Tone\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitching (3-Position Blade):\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePosition 1.
