The Fender American Vintage II series is built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware and year-specific pickups. New to the Fender lineup for 2025 are more finish options for existing models and new Limited Edition American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster. The American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster features an ash body finished in Butterscotch Blonde to capture the tone and look of the original. The substantial ’51 U-shaped hard rock maple neck plays well with a 7.25-inch radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Characteristic of production in 1951, 12th fret face-dot spacing is narrow and the sole Phillips-head fastener on the guitar is at the truss rod nut. The triple brass saddle bridge, single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners and Pure Vintage ’51 Telecaster pickups deliver classic twang and authentic Fender style. The model is offered in a Prototype White finish.
