The Fender® American Vintage II series offers an impressively faithful interpretation of the groundbreaking designs that shaped the trajectory of musical history. Crafted with authentic materials, including period-accurate bodies, necks, and hardware, along with premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument encapsulates the essence of genuine Fender craftsmanship and sonic character.

In 1963, Fender introduced a new blend of tonewoods, combining the punch and clarity of alder with the added warmth of a round-lam rosewood fingerboard, elevating the iconic Tele® twang. The American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster faithfully reproduces this hallmark tone and feel, featuring Pure Vintage '63 Telecaster pickups, a triple threaded-steel saddle bridge, and a comfortable "C"-shaped maple neck. Reflecting the characteristics of Telecaster production in 1963, this model boasts clay dots (narrowly spaced at the 12th fret), a 7.25" radius fingerboard, and is available in three classic colors: Crimson Red Transparent over mahogany, 3-Color Sunburst, or Surf Green over alder.

These instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct heirs to the original Fender lineage, crafted for players with a deep appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel. They are built with unparalleled quality, down to the smallest detail. Experience Fender electric guitars in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the epitome of legendary craftsmanship.
