The Telecaster Custom marked one of Fender’s earliest forays into the use of humbucking pickups. The Tele Custom featured a 3-way toggle located on the upper bout and dual volume and tone controls mounted to a stylish, elongated pickguard. The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original.
The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom Electric Guitar features a Wide Range humbucking pickup in the neck position and a Pure Vintage 77 single-coil Tele pickup in the bridge position. To create an authentic Wide-Range humbucking pickup, the resurrected CuNiFe magnets, which had been out of production since 1981, are an essential element in recreating the sonics of the original. The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom plays like a dream with a 77 C-shape hard rock maple neck with a 7.25-inch radius rosewood fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Other features include a Tele bridge with 6 slotted steel barrel saddles, F-stamped tuners, a convenient Bullet style truss rod nut, and a three-bolt neck plate with a Micro-Tilt mechanism.
This guitar is designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and is 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.
Alder has a well-balanced tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end.
The 7.25-Inch radius fingerboard provides the comfortable playing feel of a vintage instrument, while vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out.
In vintage years, the shape and thickness of Fender guitar necks varied tremendously. The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom Electric Guitar offers a variety of authentic neck profiles from Fender’s past.
Specially voiced to reproduce the authentic sound and performance of individual model years, Pure Vintage pickups are constructed just like pickups from Fender’s golden years. Materials include cloth-covered wire, fiber bobbins, and alnico magnets.
From the bridge to the string tree and tuning machines, every piece of American Vintage II hardware is manufactured to look, sound, and function just like it did on the originals. Much of the American Vintage II hardware is still manufactured on the original 50s and 60s era Fender factory machines.
