Fender American Vintage II ‘77 Telecaster Custom 3-Tone Sunburst

The Fender American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom captures one of the most distinctive eras in Telecaster history. Introduced during the mid-'70s, the Tele Custom combined the familiar snap and clarity of a traditional Tele bridge pickup with the thicker, fuller voice of Fender's revolutionary Wide-Range Humbucker in the neck position. The result is a guitar that comfortably bridges the gap between classic Fender twang and the punchy warmth typically associated with humbucker-equipped instruments.

Built with an alder body and finished in gloss polyurethane, this instrument delivers the balanced response and articulate attack that made late-'70s Telecasters a favorite among players looking for versatility without sacrificing character. The combination of a Pure Vintage '77 Telecaster bridge pickup and an Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range Humbucker creates a remarkably broad tonal palette, capable of everything from cutting country leads and jangly rhythm work to thick rock tones and soulful blues textures.

The maple neck features Fender's 1977 "C" profile and a vintage-correct 7.25" radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard. Vintage Tall frets provide a comfortable playing experience while maintaining the feel of a classic Fender. A bone nut, three-bolt neck construction with Micro-Tilt adjustment, and Pure Vintage "F" stamped tuners complete the authentic period-correct design.

From the chrome bridge cover and skirted black control knobs to the Wide-Range Humbucker and three-bolt neck plate, every detail reflects the spirit of the original 1977 model. For players seeking a Telecaster with expanded tonal range and unmistakable vintage personality, the American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom delivers an authentic recreation of one of Fender's most celebrated hybrid designs.
