Fender American Vintage II 77 Tele Custom Mn, Wine

The Fender American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom, seen here with a rich Wine finish, is a premium-quality remake of one of a classic Fender guitar design, loaded with era-accurate specifications, feel, and tone.

The original Telecaster Custom marked one of Fender’s earliest uses of a humbucker in place of a single coil – in this case at the neck position – opening up a wider range of sonic possibilities for Telecaster enthusiasts, and this American Vintage II model reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original in style.

Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument from the American Vintage II lineup captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.
