Fender Vintera '50s Telecaster, Maple Fingerboard - 2-Color Sunburst
For players who want the style and sound of Fenders golden era, we created the Vintera 50s Telecaster. Equipped with the coveted features that defined the decadeincluding period-accurate neck profile and playing feel, along with re-voiced pickupsthis guitar has all of the bite and twang that made the Telecaster a legend.
For authentic, vintage-style tone we recreated our favorite set of 50s Telecaster pickups. Twangy and articulate, they have the crisp, snarling sound that put Fender on the musical map. The thick, fat-shouldered Early 50s U-shaped neck has a 7.25-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-style Tele bridge with three brass barrel saddles gives this Telecaster its characteristic twang, while vintage-style tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability. Other features include vintage-style strap buttons, chrome hardware and four-bolt neck plate. Includes deluxe gig bag.
