Seller's description

The Fender® American Vintage II series offers a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that changed the course of music history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks, and hardware, premium finishes, and meticulously tuned, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and sound. The Telecaster® Custom marked one of Fender's first ventures into using humbucking pickups. The Tele® Custom featured a 3-way switch on the upper bout and dual volume and tone controls mounted on a stylish, elongated pickguard. The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom reproduces the signature tone and feel of the original. This Tele 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, we revived CuNiFe magnets, which had not been in production since 1981, and are an essential element in recreating the sound of the original. The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom plays like a dream, with a '77 "C"-shaped hard rock maple neck, a 7.25" radius maple or rosewood fingerboard, and vintage tall frets. Other features include a Tele bridge with six grooved steel barrel saddles, "F"-stamped tuners, a convenient "Bullet"-style truss rod nut, and a three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt™ mechanism. The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders, designed for players with a deep appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel, and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. This is Fender electrification in its purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.
