Solidbody Electric Guitar with Alder Body, Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Single-coil Pickups – Sonic Blue

A Huge Stop on the Tele Timeline

The original trailblazing Telecaster design skyrocketed into fame during the 1960s at the hands of rock icons like George Harrison, David Gilmour, Bob Dylan, and countless others. Today, Fender’s Vintera II ’60s Telecaster harnesses the legendry of those guitars with astounding accuracy! With a classic alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard combo, this beauty totally nails that ’60s Fender aesthetic. Guitarists love this Tele’s duet of vintage-style ’60s single-coil Tele pickups, designed to translate all that coveted ’60s Telecaster twang with authoritative clarity. Fender addressed every vintage detail, too, giving this axe a proper early ’60s “C” neck profile and vintage-style 3-saddle Tele bridge and tuning machines. The best part? The Vintera II ’60s Telecaster grants you full access to the tried-and-true sights, sounds, and feels of a true ’60s Tele for a fraction of the cost!

Solid alder body

The Telecaster is widely accepted as the original solidbody electric guitar, and it adopted some different specs over the years to keep its grandfathered status in its prime. One of these changes was a switch from ash to alder bodies in the mid-’50s. As a result, Alder helped give the Telecaster a full-bodied sound that was balanced across all frequencies while adding in a medium weight that felt just right across the shoulder. With the Vintera II ’60s Telecaster, you can expect the same finely crafted design and sonic result, keeping it a true champ for both live performances and studio work.

Vintage-style ’60s single-coil tele pickups

The voice of the Vintera II ’60s Telecaster comes from a pair of vintage-style ’60s single-coil Tele pickups at the neck and bridge positions. These single-coils channel the best of the Telecaster’s tone throughout the decade, delivering a bright and twangy presence in the lead position that can really warm up as you switch over to the rhythm position. And with its classic master tone and volume control combo, the Vintera II ’60s Telecaster lets you dial in just the balance that’s perfect for you!

Era-appropriate appointments

What would a ’60s Tele tribute be without the proper feel and hardware appointments? To start, the Vintera II ’60s Telecaster offers Fender’s early ’60s “C”-shaped neck profile, giving all players a comfortable and historically-accurate grip. The old-school appeal continues throughout its hardware, as this 6-string comes equipped with a vintage-style Tele bridge with three slotted steel saddles, knurled flat-top control knobs, and a set of dependable, fine gear ratio vintage-style tuning machines. There isn’t a spot on the Vintera II ’60s Telecaster that isn’t telling of the time period!
