The Fender American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom RW 3-Color Sunburst stands as a tribute to a pivotal era in the brand's history, crafted to match late-1970s Telecaster Custom specifications. Period-correct elements include a gloss polyurethane finish and a three-bolt "F"-stamped neck plate with Micro-Tilt™ for nuanced adjustment.

Those who want a historically faithful Telecaster with modern dependability will appreciate these details.

Features That Define This Instrument

What stands out is the authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range humbucker at the neck, crafted with revived original magnet technology. Late-'70s visual style comes through via the 3-ply black/white/black pickguard and skirted black control knobs, while the vintage 6-saddle Tele® bridge with slotted steel barrels ensures reliable intonation and sustain.

Vintage Electronics, Modern Flexibility

Serious players enjoy an electronics setup that offers both classic snap and modern body. Seamless transitions between the bright Tele spank and thick humbucking warmth are possible, thanks to the two pickups and comprehensive controls.
