[PREORDER] Fender FSR American Vintage II 51 Telecaster Electric Guitar, Maple FB, Black

The Fender Limited Edition American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster in Black is a masterclass in vintage authenticity, capturing the spirit and design of the original Telecaster that revolutionised the electric guitar landscape. Meticulously crafted with period-accurate bodies, necks, and hardware, this instrument delivers the unmistakable tone and feel that defined an era.

Introduced just a year after the Broadcaster, the 1951 Telecaster was Fender’s answer to a cease-and-desist order, inspired by the rapid growth of television. Its solid ash body and nitrocellulose lacquer finish produce a resonant, lively tone that has inspired musicians for more than seven decades.

Equipped with Custom Shop Texas Special™ single-coil pickups, this Telecaster delivers a rich and dynamic sound palette, seamlessly moving from classic country twang to gritty blues and rock tones.

Every detail reflects period-correct craftsmanship, from the four-bolt neck construction and oval “C” neck profile to the pure vintage hardware and knurled dome control knobs. The flame maple fingerboard adds both visual elegance and tonal brightness.

Whether you are a collector or a working musician, the Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster offers a timeless blend of heritage, tone, and modern reliability.
