Fender American Vintage II '63 Telecaster Vintage Blonde

The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster faithfully recreates one of the most iconic Telecasters of the pre-CBS era. Built with period-correct construction, premium materials, and meticulously crafted vintage appointments, this American-made instrument captures the unmistakable tone, feel, and style that made the 1963 Telecaster a favorite among generations of players. Every detail reflects Fender's commitment to honoring one of the most influential electric guitars ever produced.

Characteristic of the 1963 model year, this Telecaster pairs an ash body with a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish and a maple neck featuring an authentic 1963 "C" profile. The round-laminated rosewood fingerboard offers a comfortable 7.25" radius, 21 vintage tall frets, vintage clay side dots, and clay dot inlays with the narrow-spaced 12th fret markers unique to the era. Vintage-correct hardware, including the Pure Vintage 3-saddle bridge with threaded steel barrel saddles, Pure Vintage single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners, and 1-ply white pickguard, completes the timeless design.

A set of Pure Vintage '63 Telecaster single-coil pickups delivers everything players expect from an early-'60s Telecaster—crisp articulation, rich warmth, and unmistakable twang. From sparkling clean rhythms to cutting lead tones, the American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster offers the authentic sound and playing experience that continues to define Fender's legacy.
