Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster® — Butterscotch Blonde

In 1951, Leo Fender rolled out the first Telecaster and changed the course of popular music forever — a deceptively simple slab of ash and maple that brought the solid body electric guitar to the masses and has never stopped inspiring players in every genre imaginable. The Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster reproduces that groundbreaking original with obsessive period accuracy, from the substantial “U”-shaped neck and narrow 12th fret dot spacing to the Pure Vintage ’51 pickups and serialized brass barrel saddle bridge. In classic Butterscotch Blonde gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, this is the Telecaster as it existed at the very beginning — and it’s never looked or sounded better.

Key Features

  • Body: Ash finished in Butterscotch Blonde gloss nitrocellulose lacquer — the original Telecaster color combination, period-correct and tonally exceptional
  • Neck: Hard rock maple with substantial 1951 “U” profile — chunky, vintage, and immediately distinctive in the hand
  • Fretboard: Maple, 7.25″ radius with vintage tall frets and narrow 12th fret face-dot spacing — characteristic of 1951 production
  • Pickups: Pure Vintage ’51 Tele® single-coil pickups — meticulously voiced to capture the exact twang and clarity of the original year
  • Bridge: Pure Vintage serialized 3-saddle Tele® bridge with brass barrel saddles for authentic vintage tone and feel
  • Tuners: Pure Vintage single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners — period-correct to 1951 production
  • Period Detail: Sole Phillips-head fastener on the entire guitar located at the truss rod nut — historically accurate to original 1951 construction
  • Finish: Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer in Butterscotch Blonde
