Fender American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar - Black

Solidbody Electric Guitar with Alder Body, Maple Neck, Maple Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - Black

A Reimagining of 1975's Top-model Tele

The Fender American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe is a spot-on re-creation of what was considered, at least in the mid 1970s, the company's top-model Tele. The '75 Tele Deluxe is built around a balanced-sounding solid alder body, while its authentic CuNiFe magnets serve up thick humbucker tones with the perfect amount of high-end bite. You'll revel in the effortless playability of this guitar's "C"-shaped, hard-rock maple neck and vintage-radius maple fingerboard. The American Vintage II 1975 Tele Deluxe is brimming with period-correct appointments, including skirted plastic knobs, a 6-saddle hardtail bridge with bent steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, a 3-bolt neck plate, and a Stratocaster-style headstock. A head-turning gloss polyurethane finish rounds out the '75 Tele Deluxe's killer appointments. To own an American Vintage II '75 Tele Deluxe is to own an important piece of Fender history. Any Tele aficionado hankering for a humbucker-equipped model will be eminently pleased by the American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe — it's one of those solidbody electric guitars you'll own for a lifetime.

Loads of period-accurate appointments

The American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe is a spot-on re-creation of a Fender classic. This electric guitar features a solid alder body. This lightweight wood offers an incredibly balanced acoustic tone, yielding uniform quantities of lows, mids, and highs, and boasts a gorgeous gloss polyurethane finish. The 1975 Tele Deluxe's nickel/chrome hardware includes a 6-saddle string-through body hardtail bridge with stainless steel block saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, and a 3-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt. You also get a Strat-style headstock and skirted plastic control knobs with numbered indicators. Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range humbucking pickups, a period-correct neck shape, and vintage-radius fingerboard round out the American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe's classic appointments.

Seth Lover-designed Wide-Range humbuckers

When you plug the Fender American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe into your favorite amplifier, you'll be transported straight back to '75. Originally designed by pickup guru Seth Lover, this solidbody electric guitar's Wide-Range humbucking pickups feature large bobbins and threaded CuNiFe-rod magnets, which had been out of production since 1981. These magnets are vital to achieving a period-accurate sound, one that can be best described as an amalgam of humbucker girth and signature Fender chime with distinctive hi-fi character. These pickups also include a chrome cover with a "3 3" exposed pole-piece design and an attention-grabbing Fender logo. The American Vintage II 1975 Tele Deluxe comes complete with independent volume and tone knobs for each pickup, plus a 3-position pickup toggle switch.

Effortlessly playable neck

The '75 Tele Deluxe's "C"-shaped hard-rock maple neck vaunts Goldilocks dimensions — not too big, not too small — for an eminently comfortable playing experience. You also get a maple fingerboard with a vintage 9.5-inch radius and 21 medium-jumbo frets, plus a bullet-style truss rod. The neck features a vintage tint, and it's finished with slick-looking gloss polyurethane.
