‘60s Fender Telecaster
After the success of the Telecaster in the ‘50s, where many artists from Rock, Country, and R&B showcased its versatility, Fender created the ‘60s Telecaster to celebrate the innovation of the time. The Fender Vintera II ‘60s Telecaster features a Rosewood fretboard as opposed to a Maple fretboard from the early ‘50s design. The neck profile is an early ‘60s “C” shape that has been comfortably rounded to be slimmer towards the nut whilst gradually thickening towards the 12th fret for a natural feel. This Telecasters Alder body has been a staple tonewood used by Fender, producing a punchy resonance that is balanced with beefy mid-ranges.
The vintage-style single coil pickups produce a hot output, with a prominent Tele twang and crystal-clear highs that are versatile enough for you to use and play almost any genre. The vintage-style 3-saddle bridge with slotted steel saddles is a classic and original design that helps to pay homage to that famous ‘60s Tele Twang. The vintage-style tuners give you the authentic look and feel of an original ‘60s Tele with enhanced tuning stability that allows you to be more expressive with bends or play for extended periods of time. Fender have created a period accurate Telecaster that won’t break your bank, including all the features that made this classic electric guitar so great in the first place. The Vintera II ‘60s Telecaster will allow you to be expressive, capturing any genre of music you want to play in a stylish fashion.
