Fender American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar, Maple, Vintage Blonde

Join us in welcoming this Vintage Blonde finish to the Fender American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe! Who doesn't love a good Tele Deluxe, huh? Fender's first Telecaster model to sport a set of humbucking pickups – wide-range ones at that. True to its vintage counterpart, the American II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe keeps things authentic with its large Stratocaster-style headstock, comfort-contoured belly cut, and electronics. Let's dive a little deeper, shall we?

The Tele Deluxe gets its signature single-cutaway body shape from alder body – a perfect platform for humbuckers with its well-balanced tone, beefy mids, and tight low end. The body sports one of the coolest pickguards in the game, a 3-ply black guard that spans the top right of the body to the lower bout near the control cavity. Period accurate nickel/chrome hardware and witch hat style control knobs complete the '70s charm. For its voice, a set of specially crafted CuNiFe Wide-Range humbucking pickups do the job. To being these pickups to life, Fender resurrected CuNiFe magnets, which hadn't been in production since 1981. These pickups sounds great, delivering the clarity of Fender single-coils while having a hotter output and thicker humbucker voice. Tone can further be explored with the 3-way pickup selector switch and individual pickups volume and tone controls. 

Bolted to the body with a 3-bolt construction is a 22.5-inch scale length maple neck sporting a 1975 "C" shape profile. The neck is finished in gloss polyurethane, accurate to the era. The 9.5-inch radius fingerboard is crowned with 21 medium jumbo frets and 10 black dot fret markers. Strings are threaded through the Pure Vintage 6-Saddle String-Through Body Hardtail bridge with Stainless Steel Block Saddles, rest in the slotted bone nut, and are strung to pitch with the Pure Vintage Tele Deluxe tuning machines. The headstock features the iconic bullet style truss rod nut. The Tele comes packed securely in its vintage-style black hardshell case with orange interior.
