Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust one year after launching the Broadcaster®, Fender received a cease-and-desist telegram from the Fred Gretsch Mfg. Co. and was faced with renaming its flagship electric guitar. Taking inspiration from the booming growth and expansive reach of television, the first blackguard Telecaster rolled off the line in 1951, and the model has been in continuous production ever since. Deceptively simple and totally groundbreaking, the Telecaster® brought the solid body electric guitar to the masses, inspiring countless musicians along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 like a dream with a 7.25\" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets.

The triple brass saddle bridge, single-line \"Fender Deluxe\" tuners and Pure Vintage '51 Telecaster pickups deliver classic twang and authentic Fender style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePure Vintage Single Line Fender Deluxe\u003c\/span\u003e Tuners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e1.65” Bone Nut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e1951 U Profile 1-Piece Maple Neck with 25.5” Scale Length\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNeck Thickness .91\" at First Fret and 1.00\" at Twelfth Fret\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMaple Fingerboard with Black Dot Inlays and 7.25\" Radius\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e21 Vintage Tall Frets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e2 Pure Vintage '51 Single-Coil Telecaster Pickups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePure Vintage Telecaster Bridge with 3 Brass Barrel Saddles and Serial Number on\u003c\/span\u003e Bridge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAsh Body in Butterscotch Blonde Lacquer Finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWeight 8 lb 2 oz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOriginal Hard Shell Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSerial Number V2557397\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52308118929700,"sku":"26FenderAmericanVintageII1951TelecasterButterscotchBlonde#V2557397N03272026","price":2649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5560\/7980\/files\/New-Fender-AVII1951Telecaster-ButterscitchBlonde-PDX7397-3.jpg?v=1774643735","url":"https:\/\/p.thunderroadguitars.com\/products\/new-fender-american-vintage-ii-1951-telecaster-butterscotch-blonde-v2557397-pdx","provider":"Thunder Road Guitars Portland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
