Our Take:
For those who’ve always wanted to play a Tele from the ’50s (but don’t want to break the bank), Fender’s new Vintera series of guitars gives you just that opportunity. Period-accurate accoutrements such as the “Early ’50s U”-shaped neck, vintage-style frets, and two vintage-style ’50s Tele single-coil pickups combine to create a beautiful re-master of a classic instrument. Finished in original-era colorways, these guitars are a real blast from the past. Shown here in Fiesta Red.
Fender’s Take:
For players who want the style and sound of Fender’s golden era, we created the Vintera ‘50s Telecaster. Equipped with the coveted features that defined the decade—including period-accurate neck profile and playing feel, along with re-voiced pickups—this guitar has all of the bite and twang that made the Telecaster a legend. For authentic, vintage-style tone we recreated our favorite set of ‘50s Telecaster pickups. Twangy and articulate, they have the crisp, snarling sound that put Fender on the musical map. The thick, fat-shouldered “Early 50s U”-shaped neck has a 7.25”-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-style Tele® bridge with three brass barrel saddles gives this Telecaster it’s characteristic twang, while vintage-style tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability. Other features include vintage-style strap buttons, chrome hardware and four-bolt neck plate. Includes deluxe gig bag.
