With the Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster, seen here with a classic Butterscotch Blonde finish, you get an accurate recreation of the legendary solid body guitar which turned the music industry on its head..
Less than a year after originally launching as the Broadcaster, the newly renamed Telecaster delivered a deceptively simple and groundbreaking option for guitar players in this new world of electronic amplification and recording.
The Telecaster has been in continuous production ever since!
Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument from the American Vintage II lineup captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.
