The Fender® American Vintage II series presents masterfully crafted replicas of the revolutionary models with which Fender made music history. Each instrument contains bodies, necks and hardware typical of the era, is refined with premium finishes and carefully tuned to the sound of the historic original. So that the reproductions not only look like their famous ancestors, but also sound like them.


One year after the release of the Fender Broadcaster®, we received a letter from Fred Gretsch Mfg. Co. fluttered into our house. In it, we were asked to give the electric guitar, which was our flagship at the time, a new name. What to do? We wanted to move conceptually into the world of TV themes, but Broadcaster was now taboo. So maybe something with Television, Tele... Exactly. In 1951, we launched the Blackguard Telecaster®. Since then, electric guitars with a solid body have been suitable for the masses. To this day, the Tele® is so successful that we have never taken it out of the programme. Its secret? It is simple, straightforward, robust, reduced to the essentials and inspires countless artists worldwide in all styles with its uncomplicated character.


This American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster in authentic prototype white has an ash body and a relatively strong maple neck in the '51 U-profile. The fingerboard with a 7.25" radius is fitted with vintage tall frets. Just like the 1951 model, two dots sit close together at the 12th fret. The single Phillips screw used to adjust the neck position is also from the year of manufacture. The bridge with three brass string saddles, the "Fender Deluxe" in-line machine heads and, of course, genuine Pure Vintage '51 Telecaster pickups round off the historically correct look and sound.


Attention: The Prototype White finish is strictly limited!
