About this listing
This guitar is brand new from Fender but has some damage to the 20th fret. Playability is not affected though so grab this amazing guitar and a great price!The Fender® American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. 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.By 1963, a new combination of tonewoods married the punch and focus of alder with the warmth added by a round-lam rosewood fingerboard, enhancing the signature Tele® twang. Featuring Pure Vintage 63 Telecaster® pickups, triple threaded-steel saddle bridge and a comfortable C-shape maple neck, the American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original. Characteristic of production in 1963, this Tele features clay dots (narrow-spaced at the 12th fret), a 7.25 radius fingerboard fingerboard and is offered in three colours: Crimson Red Transparent over mahogany and 3-Colour Sunburst or Surf Green over alder.The 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.

Mahogany is a warm sounding wood with smooth mids and sweet highs. 7.25â RADIUS ROUND-LAMINATED ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD The 7.25â-radius fingerboard provides the comfortable playing feel of a vintage instrument, while vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out. 1963 âCâ-SHAPE NECK In vintage years, the shape and thickness of Fender guitar necks varied tremendously.
