Immerse yourself in the legacy of the Telecaster and own a piece of Fender history with the 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1951, caught between the end of the \"Broadcaster\" name and the dawn of the \"Telecaster,\" Fender shipped guitars with no model name on the headstock at all — and a legend was born. Informed by a telegram from Gretsch that the “Broadkaster” name had been registered for a drum kit, Fender began clipping the “Broadcaster” name from headstock decals until the new Telecaster decals were delivered. Seventy-five years later, the legend lives on in the 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster — a meticulous tribute to one of the most storied instruments ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster features an ash body finished in Nocaster Blonde and dressed in our exclusive Heirloom Lacquer treatment — an aged nitrocellulose finish carefully crafted to emulate the natural wear and patina of a vintage guitar that has spent decades in the hands of a player. The result is an instrument that doesn't just look vintage, it feels vintage, right out of the case. The substantial '51 \"U\"-shaped hard rock maple neck plays like a dream with a 7.25\" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrue to the vintage accurate Nocaster specifications, the 12th fret face-dot spacing is narrow and the sole single Phillips-head fastener on the guitar is at the truss rod nut. The triple brass saddle bridge and single-line \"Fender Deluxe\" tuners deliver authentic Fender style, while the 75th Anniversary Blackguard Telecaster® pickups honor the guitar's direct lineage to the original — delivering that raw, chimey, unmistakable blackguard twang that started it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 — and none more historically charged than this. Fender American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster: 75 years of the guitar that had no name and changed everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003eBlonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003eAsh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003eGloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e1-Piece Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e4-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003eHeirloom Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003eMaple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFret Size:\u003c\/strong\u003eVintage Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber Of Frets:\u003c\/strong\u003e21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePosition Inlays:\u003c\/strong\u003eBlack Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide Dots:\u003c\/strong\u003eBlack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003eBone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e1.650” (42 Mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/strong\u003eVintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/strong\u003ePure Vintage Single Line “Fender Deluxe”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e25.5” (648 Mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003ePure Vintage 3-Saddle Tele With Brass Barrel Saddles, Serialized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Cover Or Tailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003eIncludes Chrome Bridge Cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e1-Ply Black Phenolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003eSS \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e75th Anniversary Blackguard Single-Coil Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e75th Anniversary Blackguard Single-Coil Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003eMaster Volume, Master Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/strong\u003eKnurled Dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitching:\u003c\/strong\u003e3-Position Blade: Position 1.
