The Fender® American Vintage II series offers an incredibly accurate nod to the revolutionary designs that reshaped music history. Each instrument in this series is crafted with period - exact bodies, necks, and hardware, top - notch finishes, and precisely voiced, year - specific pickups. It truly captures the real Fender craftsmanship and tone.
By 1963, a new blend of tonewoods combined the punch and focus of alder with the warmth of a round - lam rosewood fingerboard, intensifying the signature Tele® twang. The American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster comes with Pure Vintage ‘63 Telecaster® pickups, a triple threaded - steel saddle bridge, and a comfortable “C” - shape maple neck, perfectly replicating the classic tone and feel of the original. This 1963 model features clay dots (narrow - spaced at the 12th fret) and a 7.25” radius fingerboard.
The American Vintage II series guitars are direct descendants of the original Fenders. They're made for players who love vintage Fender tone and feel, and are built with unbeatable quality right down to the last screw. These are the purest form of Fender electric guitars: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.
