Description
PURE VINTAGE ORIGINAL TELECASTER For the guitarist who craves pure vintage Fender style, the American Vintage series presents original-era model year guitars built with meticulous attention to accurate detail that bring Fender history and heritage to authentic and exciting new life. Before there was rock ‘n’ roll, there was the Telecaster—the Fender guitar that started it all. From humble beginnings came a revolutionary and elegantly simple new electric guitar that let musicians be heard loud and clear with sparkling tone and distinctive style. The U.S.-made American Vintage ‘52 Telecaster puts that original-instrument magic in your hands, built using original tooling and based on actual 1952 models we tracked down. FEATURES Ash bodyThin nitrocellulose lacquer finish in light Butterscotch BlondeDeep maple neck with “U”-shaped profile and rolled edgesSpecially voiced pickupsRecessed-top “barrel” switch tip and knurled/domed chrome control knobsVintage-style bridge with three brass saddles FLASH-COAT LACQUER FINISH The term flash-coat lacquer refers specifically to the quickly applied thin and final “flash” of topcoat lacquer applied to most American Vintage instruments. The composition and method of application for this finish layer lets an instrument “breathe” with a more natural resonance, and imparts a more authentically vintage appearance. NEWLY VOICED AMERICAN VINTAGE PICKUPS American Vintage instruments feature specially voiced pickups meticulously researched and crafted to reproduce the authentic design, voice and performance of specific instruments from individual model years in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s. Their superior sound and style is one of the defining hallmarks of the American Vintage series. NEW NECK PROFILES This instrument’s thicker “U” neck profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) is sculpted to the most accurate period-correct spec possible, imparting an authentic vintage playing feel straight from the individual model year. Ideal for those who play with the thumb on the back or side of the neck. IMPROVED NECK AND BODY RADII ACCURACY The meticulous vintage authenticity of this instrument even extends to carefully researched measurements of the various degrees of rounding on the edges of the body, neck and headstock. These subtleties are reproduced here with Fender’s highest-yet level of period-correct accuracy, and contribute to a truly faithful vintage-instrument experience. BONE NUT A string nut fashioned from bone contributes to superior tone and performance, not to mention being an authentic original-era Fender design element. Many players consider bone string nuts more “organic” sounding, with tonal quality unmatched by string nuts made using synthetic materials. PERIOD-CORRECT CASES AND EPHEMERA American Vintage instruments are complemented by cases that are every bit as vintage-authentic as the guitars and basses they so stylishly contain, accompanied by a fascinating wealth of in-case reproduction extras and accessories, such as straps, cables, polishing cloths, wiring kits, bridge covers, owner’s manuals and more.
