Fender 75th Anniversary Vintera® Road Worn® 1951 Telecaster®

Fender 75th Anniversary Vintera Road Worn 1951 Telecaster®

The Telecaster turned 75 this year, and the Road Worn 1951 celebrates that milestone the way the original was always meant to be experienced — worn in, played hard, and dripping with authentic vintage character. The 75th Anniversary Road Worn 1951 Telecaster pairs a resonant swamp ash body with a thick early-’50s “U” neck profile, Pure Vintage ’51 pickups, and Fender’s new Road Worn nitrocellulose lacquer finish that captures decades of aging and road life in a guitar that feels like it’s already been everywhere worth going.

Key Features

• Body: Swamp ash with Road Worn® nitrocellulose lacquer finish — lightweight, resonant, and authentically aged with vintage character baked in
• Neck: Maple with early-’50s “U” shape and thick shoulders — substantial, vintage, and immediately distinctive in the hand; Road Worn® nitro finish for a naturally worn, broken-in feel
• Fretboard: Maple, 7.25″ radius with vintage tall frets for supreme comfort and classic period-correct playability
• Pickups: Pure Vintage ’51 Telecaster single-coils — crystal-clear chime and raw, steely twang straight from the original 1951 spec
• Bridge: Vintage-style 3-saddle bridge with brass barrel saddles for authentic early-’50s tone and feel
• Tuners: Vintage-style for period-correct aesthetics and reliable tuning stability
