Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster Maple Fingerboard Butterscotch Blonde

Step back in time to 1951 when Fender faced a legal challenge that would birth one of music's most iconic instruments. After receiving a cease-and-desist order over the Broadcaster name, Leo Fender drew inspiration from television's expanding influence to create the Telecaster® - a deceptively simple yet revolutionary solid-body electric guitar that has remained in continuous production for over seven decades. The American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster captures the authentic essence of that groundbreaking original with period-accurate construction and meticulous attention to historical detail.

This faithful recreation features an ash body finished in classic Butterscotch Blonde, paired with the substantial '51 "U"-shaped hard rock maple neck that made the original so distinctive. The 7.25" radius fingerboard with vintage tall frets provides that unmistakable feel, while period-correct details like narrow 12th fret face-dot spacing and the single Phillips-head fastener at the truss rod nut maintain historical accuracy. Pure Vintage '51 Telecaster® pickups work alongside the triple brass saddle bridge and single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners to produce that legendary twang.

Built with premium nitrocellulose lacquer finishes and featuring a bone nut, serialised bridge, and vintage-style controls, this instrument represents Fender craftsmanship in its purest form. The American Vintage II series stands as a direct descendant of Leo Fender's original designs, created for players who appreciate authentic vintage tone and feel. Complete with a vintage-style tweed case featuring crushed red interior, this Telecaster® embodies the revolutionary spirit that altered musical history forever.
