The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw.

This Tele features a Wide Range humbucking pickup in the neck position and a Pure Vintage '77 single-coil Tele pickup in the bridge position. To create an authentic Wide-Range humbucking pickup, we resurrected CuNiFe magnets, which had been out of production since 1981, and are an essential element in recreating the sonics of the original. The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom plays like a dream with a '77 "C"-shape hard rock maple neck with a 7.25" radius maple or rosewood fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Other features include a Tele bridge with 6 slotted steel barrel saddles, "F" stamped tuners, a convenient "Bullet" style truss rod nut and a three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt mechanism.

Comes with a Vintage-Style Black (Orange Interior) Case.
