Building on the success of their acclaimed American Vintage and Original ranges, Fender's revamped American Vintage II Series takes things up a notch! Comprising dozens of remarkably precise recreations of timeless Fender designs, these guitars are built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes, and meticulously-voiced, year-specific pickups. The American Vintage II Series painstakingly pays tribute to the revolutionary instruments that altered the course of popular music forever, with each model capturing the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

The Telecaster Custom marked one of Fender's earliest forays into the use of humbucking pickups. The Tele Custom featured a 3-way toggle located on the upper bout and dual volume and tone controls mounted to a stylish, elongated pickguard. The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original, down to every last detail!

Featuring a unique pickup configuration that comprises a Wide-Range humbucker in the neck position and a Pure Vintage '77 single-coil in the bridge — the Vintage II Tele Custom is a flexible workhorse guitar capable of many spellbinding sounds! Its effortless to play too, with a slim '77 "C"-shaped Maple neck, 7.25"-radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. It's also outfitted with a convenient "Bullet" style truss rod, 3-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt mechanism, "F"-stamped tuners and a 6-saddle Tele bridge.

Key Features

  • Wide-Range CuNiFe Neck Humbucker — Delivers a rich bell-like tone with full bass and clear treble; offering "hi-fi" clarity yet never losing attack and definition, no matter how hard it's pushed!
  • Pure Vintage '77 Bridge Single-Coil — Provides iconic Tele "twang"; the perfect counterpoint to the warmth of the neck humbucker.
  • 3-Bolt Neck Plate with Micro-Tilt — The CBS era is famously infamous for tinkering with Leo Fender's formulas, with the 3-bolt neck joint a hallmark of '70s Fender instruments. The Micro-Tilt mechanism allows you to easily tweak the angle of the neck in relation of the guitar's body, to achieve optimal string action.
  • "C"-Shaped Maple Neck — A lean, time-honoured neck profile that's synonymous with '70s Fenders. It plays like a dream!
  • Bone Nut — Traditional, low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips.
  • 6-Saddle Tele Bridge — Individual saddles allow for precise action and intonation adjustment. A chrome bridge cover is included, if you love that retro aesthetic!
  • Vintage-Style Case — A rugged black hard case is included, offering excellent protection. It features a bright orange interior too!
  • Made in Corona, California — All American Vintage II guitars are constructed in Fender's main California factory; the beating heart of Fender craftsmanship.

Stuff About Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Stuff About Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.

The Important stuff

Black — Black instruments and gear offer a timeless, understated look that fits almost any style of music or setup. Whether it’s a guitar, pedal or accessory, a black finish is often chosen for its clean appearance, practicality and stage-ready feel. If you prefer gear that looks focused, professional and never goes out of fashion, black options deliver a classic aesthetic with no distractions.. Telecaster — The Telecaster is one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made, first introduced by Fender in the early 1950s. Known for its simple design, solid body, and distinctive twang, it became the go-to instrument for country, rock, blues, and punk players alike. Its two single-coil pickups deliver bright, cutting tones with great clarity, making it perfect for both rhythm and lead work. The Tele’s bolt-on neck, smooth playability, and rugged build have helped it remain a timeless classic — a true workhorse guitar that’s still inspiring musicians over 70 years after its debut..
