kr. 17.227,00
The American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster features an ash body finished in Butterscotch Blonde to capture the tone and look of the original. The substantial ‘51 “U”-shaped hard rock maple neck plays like a dream with a 7.25” radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Characteristic of production in 1951, 12th fret face-dot spacing is narrow and the sole Phillips-head fastener on the guitar is at the truss rod nut. The triple brass saddle bridge, single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners and Pure Vintage ’51 Telecaster pickups deliver classic twang and authentic Fender style.

Beskrivelse
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.
Just one year after launching the Broadcaster®, Fender received a cease-and-desist telegram from the Fred Gretsch Mfg. Co. and was faced with renaming its flagship electric guitar. Taking inspiration from the booming growth and expansive reach of television, the first blackguard Telecaster rolled off the line in 1951, and the model has been in continuous production ever since. Deceptively simple and totally groundbreaking, the Telecaster® brought the solid body electric guitar to the masses, inspiring countless musicians along the way.

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.
Om Fender
Fender er nok verdens mest kendte producent af guitarer. Siden grundlæggeren Leo Fender i 1951 sendte den første Telecaster på markedet, har Fender været det mest populære mærker for guitarister i hele verden.
Leo Fender startede i efteråret 1938 “Fender’s Radio Service”. Her repararede og solgte han radioer o.lign. Efter nogle år begyndte Leo at producere guitarforstærkere og lap steel guitarer. I 1946 tog han springet og omdøbte firmaet til “Fender Electric Instrument Company” – samme år blev den legendariske Princeton introduceret.
I 1950-51 sender Fender Telecasteren på markedet, og kort efter fulgte Precision bassen sammen med Bassman forstærkeren. Samme år lukkede Leo sin radio-reparationsforretning, og fokuserede al sin energi på at producere instrumenter og forstærkere.
Få år efter, i 1954, blev Stratocaster introduceret. Hvis man mente at Telecasteren solgte godt, var det intet i forhold hvor populær Stratocasteren var og er. Lanceringen af den nye model var udslagsgivende for Fenders eksponentielle vækst. Ganske kort tid efter havde Fender over 100 ansatte, og blev solgt i hele verden.
Siden har Fender introduceret Jazz Bass, Jaguar, Jazzmaster og et væld af andre ikoniske instrumenter. Der er skrevet lange bøger om Fender, og med god grund; deres vitale rolle i udviklingen af den elektriske guitar kan ikke underkendes.
I dag producere Fender elektriske guitar, basser, nylonstrengede guitar, ukuleler, forstærkere, effekter, kabler og et væld af andet tilbehør.
