Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster – Vintage Blonde
The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster is more than a reissue—it's a painstaking recreation of one of the most important electric guitars ever built. Designed to capture the look, feel and unmistakable tone of an original 1963 Telecaster, every detail has been carefully considered, from the period-correct construction and hardware through to the meticulously voiced Pure Vintage pickups.
By 1963, the Telecaster had evolved into the instrument many players now consider the definitive vintage specification. The combination of an alder body and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard added warmth and depth to the Tele's legendary bite, creating the balanced, articulate sound heard on countless classic recordings.
Finished in the timeless Vintage Blonde, this model embodies the understated elegance of Fender's early '60s instruments while showcasing the beautiful grain beneath its gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. It's a classic look that has become synonymous with some of the greatest Telecaster players in history.
At the heart of the guitar is a pair of Pure Vintage '63 Telecaster single-coil pickups, delivering everything a great Tele should: crisp attack, rich harmonic content, sparkling cleans and cutting lead tones with exceptional dynamic response. From country and blues through to rock, indie and soul, this is the unmistakable sound that has inspired generations of players.
The comfortable 1963 "C"-shaped maple neck features a vintage-correct 7.25-inch radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, allowing chords to feel natural and effortless while remaining true to the playing experience of an original early-'60s Telecaster. Authentic details such as clay dot inlays, threaded steel barrel saddles, single-line Fender Deluxe tuners and a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish complete an instrument that looks, feels and ages just like the originals.
The American Vintage II series represents Fender's commitment to historical accuracy, offering discerning players an instrument that captures the craftsmanship, character and soul of the golden era of electric guitar production.
