The Fender® American Vintage II series offers an incredibly accurate representation of the revolutionary designs that changed the course of music history. Each instrument in this series is crafted with period - accurate bodies, necks, and hardware, high - end finishes, and precisely voiced, year - specific pickups. It truly captures the real essence of Fender's craftsmanship and tone. By 1963, a unique 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, replicating the classic tone and feel of the original. This 1963 - style Tele 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, built for players who love vintage Fender tone and feel. They are made with top - notch quality right down to the last screw. These are the purest form of Fender electric guitars, the stuff of legends.

Using this Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster is a breeze. Just pick it up, tune it using the tuning machines, and start playing. You can strum chords for rhythm or pick single notes for melodies. The pickups let you get different tones. The bridge pickup gives a brighter, more cutting sound, while the neck pickup offers a warmer tone. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in the provided vintage - style black case with an orange interior when you're not using it. This protects it from dust, dirt, and accidental bumps. Wipe the body with a soft, dry cloth after each use to keep the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish looking great. Check the strings regularly for wear and tear, and change them when they start to sound dull. Also, make sure the tuning stays accurate by tuning it before each play session. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity as this can damage the wood and affect the instrument's sound and playability.
