Experience the legendary tone and craftsmanship of Fender’s 1963 Telecaster with the American Vintage II series. Designed with period-accurate bodies, necks, hardware, and meticulously voiced Pure Vintage ’63 pickups, this guitar faithfully reproduces the sound and feel that defined a generation of music. Its alder body paired with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard delivers the perfect balance of punch and warmth, while the C-shaped maple neck ensures comfortable playability. Ideal for recording, performing, or collecting, this Telecaster embodies Fender’s iconic heritage in every detail.
Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish
Nitrocellulose lacquer, as used on ’50s and ’60s Fender instruments, is a premium finish that reveals the instrument’s true tonal character.
Alder Body
Alder has a well-balanced tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end, perfectly complementing the classic Telecaster twang.
7.25 Inch Radius Round-Laminated Rosewood Fingerboard
The 7.25-inch 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 C-Shape Neck
In vintage years, the shape and thickness of Fender guitar necks varied tremendously. The American Vintage II Series offers authentic neck profiles from Fender’s past for a classic playing experience.
Pure Vintage ’63 Telecaster Pickups
Specially voiced to reproduce the authentic sound and performance of individual model years, Pure Vintage pickups are constructed like Fender pickups from the golden years, using cloth-covered wire, fiber bobbins, and alnico magnets.
Vintage-Style Hardware
From the bridge to the string tree and tuning machines, every piece of American Vintage II hardware is manufactured to look, sound, and function like the originals. Much of it is still produced on the original' 50s- and' 60s-era Fender factory machines.
Included Accessories
Vintage-style brown gig bag with orange interior protects the instrument while adding classic Fender style.
