The Fender® American Vintage II series presents a remarkably
accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the
course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies,
necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced,
year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of
authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.
By 1963, a new combination of tonewoods married the punch and
focus of alder with the warmth added by a round-lam rosewood
fingerboard, enhancing the signature Tele® twang. Featuring Pure
Vintage '63 Telecaster® pickups, triple threaded-steel saddle
bridge and a comfortable "C"-shape maple neck, the American
Vintage II 1963 Telecaster reproduces the quintessential tone and
feel of the original. Characteristic of production in 1963, this
Tele features clay dots (narrow-spaced at the 12th fret), a 7.25"
radius fingerboard fingerboard and is offered in three colors:
Crimson Red Transparent over mahogany and 3-Color Sunburst or
Surf Green over alder.
The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct
descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a
fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with
unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender
electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the
stuff of legends.
