The Fender American Vintage II series is renowned for its dedication to recreating iconic instruments with meticulous accuracy. The Limited Edition 1951 Telecaster, finished in a beautiful Prototype White, offers a unique glimpse into the early days of this groundbreaking guitar. This limited edition model is a true collector's item and a player's dream.
The Telecaster's journey began with the Broadcaster, but a naming dispute led to the iconic "Telecaster" moniker in 1951. This marked a pivotal moment in music history, as the Telecaster became the first commercially successful solid-body electric guitar, paving the way for countless musical innovations. The American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster captures the essence of this pioneering instrument with remarkable precision.
This guitar features an ash body, a tonewood known for its bright, resonant tone and distinctive grain patterns. The historically significant Limited Edition Prototype White finish adds to the guitar's unique appeal. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only enhances the guitar's visual beauty but also allows the wood to breathe and resonate freely, contributing to its overall tone.
The substantial '51 "U"-shaped hard rock maple neck provides a comfortable and substantial feel in the hand, reminiscent of the original '51 Telecasters. The 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets offer a classic playing experience, ideal for players who appreciate the feel of vintage instruments. Period-correct details, such as the narrow spacing of the 12th-fret face dots and the single Phillips-head fastener at the truss rod nut, further enhance the guitar's authenticity.
The Pure Vintage '51 Telecaster pickups are meticulously crafted to replicate the twangy, bright tone that made the original Telecasters so iconic. These pickups deliver a clear and articulate sound, perfect for country, blues, rock, and a wide range of other musical styles. The Pure Vintage 3-saddle Tele bridge with brass barrel saddles contributes to the guitar's classic tone and sustain. The serialised bridge adds a touch of exclusivity to this limited edition model. The Pure Vintage single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners complete the vintage aesthetic and ensure stable tuning.
This Limited Edition American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster in Prototype White is more than just a reissue; it's a piece of history. Its limited availability, combined with its historical accuracy and exceptional playability, makes it a highly desirable instrument for collectors and players alike.
