Timeless Sonic Excellence

Immerse yourself in the timeless excellence of the Fender American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom MN Black. This remarkable instrument from the American Vintage II series presents an astonishingly accurate rendition of a revolutionary design that shaped musical history. Meticulously crafted with a period-accurate body, neck, and hardware, and equipped with meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, this guitar captures the essence of the original's craftsmanship and tone. The Telecaster Custom marked Fender's early exploration into the realm of humbucking pickups. Featuring a 3-way toggle on the upper bout and dual volume and tone controls elegantly mounted on a stylish elongated pickguard, the Tele Custom became an iconic piece of guitar history. The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom faithfully reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original, offering an extraordinary musical experience.

This Telecaster boasts an Alder body, loaded with a Wide Range humbucking pickup in the neck position and a Pure Vintage '77 single-coil Tele pickup in the bridge position. To ensure an authentic Wide-Range humbucking pickup, Fender resurrected the CuNiFe magnets that had been out of production since 1981, as they are an essential component for recreating the original tone. With a '77 "C"-shape hard rock maple neck, a 7.25" radius maple fingerboard, and vintage tall frets, the American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom provides exceptional playability. Additional features include a Tele bridge with 6 slotted steel barrel saddles, "F" stamped tuners, a convenient "Bullet" style truss rod nut, and a three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt mechanism.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Fender American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom MN Black is a testament to the exceptional quality of Fender. Its meticulous attention to detail, authentic vintage design, and remarkable tonal versatility make it a must-have for guitar enthusiasts and musicians seeking to capture the essence of Fender's golden era.
