Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially introduced in 1972 and billed as the top model in the Telecaster® family, The Telecaster Deluxe holds the distinction of being Fender's first solid-body Telecaster with two humbucking pickups. Like the original, the American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe sports a large Stratocaster®-style headstock, comfort-contoured belly cut, and pair of Wide Range humbucking pickups mounted to an elongated pickguard with dual volume and tone controls and a 3-way toggle located on the upper bout. To create authentic Wide-Range humbucking pickups, Fender resurrected CuNiFe magnets, which had been out of production since 1981, an essential element in recreating the sonics of the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a '75 \"C\"-shape hard rock maple neck, the American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe plays like a dream with a 9.5\" radius maple fingerboard and medium jumbo frets. Characteristic of production in 1975, this Telecaster is outfitted with a convenient \"Bullet\" style truss rod nut, three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt™ mechanism and offered in Black, Mocha Brown, or 3-Color Sunburst over an alder body. Other features include a 6-Saddle hardtail bridge with stainless steel block saddles and vintage-accurate Tele® Deluxe tuners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlder Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss Polyurethane Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic CuNiFe Wide-Range Humbucking Pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"C\"-Shaped Neck Profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Vintage 6-Saddle String-Through Body Hardtail with Stainless Steel Block Saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Vintage Tele® Deluxe Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QkvFaP0LOKg\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHIGHLIGHTS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/2249\/files\/highlight_fen_01103328_feature_01.jpg?v=1784677064\" alt=\"ALDER BODY\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eALDER BODY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlder has a well-balanced tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/2249\/files\/highlight_fen_01103328_feature_02.jpg?v=1784677086\" alt=\"9.5” RADIUS MAPLE FINGERBOARD\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e9.5” RADIUS MAPLE FINGERBOARD\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9.5”-radius fingerboard provides the comfortable playing feel of a vintage instrument, while medium-jumbo frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/2249\/files\/highlight_fen_01103328_feature_03.jpg?v=1784677120\" alt=\"1975 “C”-SHAPE NECK\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1975 “C”-SHAPE NECK\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn vintage years, the shape and thickness of Fender guitar necks varied tremendously.
