Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.By 1963, a new combination of tonewoods married the punch and focus of alder with the warmth added by a round-lam rosewood fingerboard, enhancing the signature Tele® twang. Featuring Pure Vintage ‘63 Telecaster® pickups, triple threaded-steel saddle bridge and a comfortable “C”-shape maple neck, the American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original. Characteristic of production in 1963, this Tele features clay dots (narrow-spaced at the 12th fret), a 7.25” radius fingerboard fingerboard and is offered in three colors: Crimson Red Transparent over mahogany and 3-Color Sunburst or Surf Green over alder.The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form.Number of Strings: 6Body: AlderBridge/Tremolo: Pure Vintage 3-Saddle Tele with Threaded Steel Barrel SaddlesBridge Pickup: Pure Vintage ‘63 Single-Coil TeleOriginal Colour by Producer: 3-Color SunburstColour: SunburstConstruction Method: Bolt-onControl Knobs: Knurled Flat-TopControls: VolumeControls: ToneMade in: USAHandedness: Right HandedFingerboard Radius: 7,25"Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose LacquerFretboard Inlays: Clay DotFretboard: RosewoodNumber of Frets: 21Frets Size: Vintage TallGauge: 010" / 046"Incl.
