Our Take:
The Vintera Series ’60s Telecaster Modified is a great choice for any guitar player, especially Tele lovers who want to experience their favorite instrument in a new way. Two ’60s Single Coil Telecaster pickups deliver crisp, high-quality and high-output Fender tones, while a 9.5″-radius maple fingerboard sitting atop the “’60s C”-shaped neck provide a more modern, yet accessible playing feel. Plus, the 4-way switching and addition of the S-1 switch allow even more tonal exploration than before. Shown here in Lake Placid Blue.
Fender’s Take:
For players who appreciate the mojo of the past matched to contemporary features, we created the Vintera® ‘60s Telecaster® Modified. Blending classic looks with a modern neck profile and fingerboard radius, hotter pickups and updated electronics—this guitar packs a surprising amount of power under the hood.
For modern Fender tone we recreated the pair of ‘60s single-coil Telecaster pickups then kicked things up a bit by increasing the output. Twangy and articulate, they have the power you need for any style of music. The “60s C”-shaped neck has a 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets for modern playing feel. A vintage-style Tele® bridge with three brass saddles gives this Telecaster it’s characteristic twang, while 4-way switching gives you even more tonal variety. Series wiring makes this Tele sound fat, like a humbucking pickup, while the S-1™ switch puts the pickups out of phase with each other for a cool “strangled” tone. Other features include vintage-style tuning machines and strap buttons, chrome hardware and four-bolt neck plate. Includes deluxe gig bag.
