Exploring the American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe | American Vintage II | Fender

collapse expand iconDescription

The Fender American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe electric guitar celebrates the original model that holds the distinction of being Fender's first solidbody Telecaster with two humbuckers. Like the original, the American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe sports a large Stratocaster-style headstock, comfort-contoured belly cut and pair of Wide-Range humbucking pickups mounted to an elongated pickguard with dual volume and tone controls, and a three-way switch located on the upper bout. Now available at Guitar Center, this reissue guitar is built with period-accurate appointments and premium components for an authentic experience of a historic Fender instrument.

Wide-Range Humbuckers Deliver Thick, Singing Tones

To create authentic Wide-Range humbucking pickups, Fender resurrected CuNiFe magnets, which had been out of production since 1981—an essential element in recreating the sonics of the original. The neck humbucker produces a warm, resonant tone perfect for complex chords and melody lines. The bridge humbucker has a slightly hotter output for a punchy, articulate tone that cuts through the mix.

Fast-Playing C-Shaped Neck and 9.5" Radius Fretboard

Featuring a '75 C-shaped hard rock maple neck, the American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe plays like a dream with a 9.5" radius maple fretboard and vintage tall frets. The neck has a comfortable medium profile that most players will find fast and familiar.

Vintage-Accurate Hardware and Appointments

Characteristic of production in 1975, the American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe is outfitted with a convenient "Bullet" style truss rod nut, three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt mechanism and classic finishes over an alder body. Additional appointments include a six-saddle hardtail bridge with stainless steel block saddles and vintage-accurate Tele Deluxe tuners.

Premium Case Included

This solidbody guitar comes with a vintage-style black case with an orange interior, providing a stylish and protective way to transport your new American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe.
