The Fender® American Vintage II series offers an incredibly accurate re - creation of the game - changing designs that shaped musical history. These guitars are crafted with era - specific bodies, necks, and hardware, high - quality finishes, and precisely tuned, year - specific pickups, truly capturing the heart of genuine Fender craftsmanship and tone.
The Telecaster Deluxe, first introduced in 1972 as the top model in the Telecaster® family, was Fender’s first solid - body Telecaster with two humbucking pickups. The American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe stays true to the original, featuring a large Stratocaster® - style headstock, a comfort - contoured belly cut, and a pair of Wide Range humbucking pickups on an elongated pickguard. It comes with dual volume and tone controls and a 3 - way toggle on the upper bout. To recreate the authentic Wide - Range humbucking pickups, we brought back CuNiFe magnets, out of production since 1981, a key element for recreating the original sound.
This guitar has a 1975 “C” - shape hard rock maple neck, a 9.5” radius maple fingerboard, and medium jumbo frets, making it a dream to play. In line with 1975 production, it has a convenient 'Bullet' style truss rod nut, a three - bolt neck plate with Micro - Tilt™ mechanism, and is available in Black, Mocha Brown, or 3 - Color Sunburst on an alder body. Other features include a 6 - Saddle hardtail bridge with stainless steel block saddles and vintage - accurate Tele® Deluxe tuners.
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 unmatched quality, right down to the last screw. These are the purest form of Fender electric guitars, the stuff of legends.

Using your Fender American Vintage II 1975 Deluxe Electric Telecaster Guitar is a breeze. First, plug it into your amplifier using a standard instrument cable. You can adjust the tone and volume using the dual controls on the guitar. The 3 - way toggle switch lets you choose between different pickup combinations for a variety of sounds.
When it comes to playing, the medium jumbo frets and 9.5” radius maple fingerboard make it easy to move your fingers across the strings. The 1975 “C” - shape hard rock maple neck provides a comfortable grip.
For storage, always keep your guitar in the included vintage - style black case with an orange interior. This will protect it from dust, scratches, and temperature changes.
To maintain your guitar, wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and sweat. Check the tuning regularly, and if the strings start to sound dull or lose their tone, replace them with Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel strings. You can also adjust the truss rod using the 'Bullet' style truss rod nut if needed, but be careful not to over - tighten it. If you're not sure, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician.
