The Fender® American Vintage II series offers an incredibly accurate interpretation 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, premium finishes, and meticulously tuned, year - specific pickups. It truly captures the essence 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 features a large Stratocaster® - style headstock, a comfort - contoured belly cut, and a pair of Wide Range humbucking pickups on an elongated pickguard. It has 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, which were out of production since 1981, a key element for recreating the original sound.
The American Vintage II series instruments are direct descendants of the original Fenders. They are designed for players who deeply appreciate vintage Fender tone and feel and are built with unrivaled quality down to the last screw. These are the purest form of Fender electric guitars: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.

Using your Fender American Vintage II 1975 Deluxe Electric Telecaster Guitar is a breeze. First, plug it into an amplifier using a standard instrument cable. You can use the dual volume and tone controls to adjust the sound according to your preference. The 3 - way toggle allows you to switch between different pickup combinations for a variety of tones.
When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and stable environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood and affect the tuning. Regularly clean the fretboard with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and sweat. You can also use a mild guitar cleaner on the body to keep it looking shiny.
For the strings, change them every few months depending on how often you play. This will keep the sound crisp and clear. When changing strings, make sure to tune the guitar slowly and carefully to avoid breaking the strings or damaging the tuning machines.
When not in use, store your guitar in the provided vintage - style black case with an orange interior. This will protect it from scratches and other damages.
