The newest Telecaster guitar models in Fender’s acclaimed American Vintage series are fully equipped with features redesigned and re-voiced to produce classic 1960s and 1970s tones.
The rich history of Fender guitars began with the Telecaster in February 1951. It was the world’s first successful solid-body electric guitar, transforming the role of the guitar in popular music and becoming an enduring model of form and function in the process. The new American Vintage Telecaster guitar models embody history and innovation, continuing with Fender’s tradition of creating cutting-edge instruments.
