Each 75th Anniversary Telecaster model showcases the rich heritage and legendary tones that have made the Tele® an unrivaled icon. From vintage purists to progressive players seeking cutting-edge features, rest assured there's a model that will deliver. Immerse yourself in the legacy of the Telecaster and own a piece of Fender history with the 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis limited edition version of a '51 Nocaster just landed, and we immediately fell in love.  The wood grain shows beautifully through the Blonde lacquer finish, it plays amazingly well, and it's quite light - it comes in at just 6.8 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fender® American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. 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\u003eIn 1951, caught between the end of the \"Broadcaster\" name and the dawn of the \"Telecaster,\" Fender shipped guitars with no model name on the headstock at all — and a legend was born. Informed by a telegram from Gretsch that the “Broadkaster” name had been registered for a drum kit, Fender began clipping the “Broadcaster” name from headstock decals until the new Telecaster decals were delivered. Seventy-five years later, the legend lives on in the 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster — a meticulous tribute to one of the most storied instruments ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster features an ash body finished in Nocaster Blonde and dressed in our exclusive Heirloom Lacquer treatment — an aged nitrocellulose finish carefully crafted to emulate the natural wear and patina of a vintage guitar that has spent decades in the hands of a player. The result is an instrument that doesn't just look vintage, it feels vintage, right out of the case. The substantial '51 \"U\"-shaped hard rock maple neck plays like a dream with a 7.25\" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. True to the vintage accurate Nocaster specifications, the 12th fret face-dot spacing is narrow and the sole single Phillips-head fastener on the guitar is at the truss rod nut. The triple brass saddle bridge and single-line \"Fender Deluxe\" tuners deliver authentic Fender style, while the 75th Anniversary Blackguard Telecaster® pickups honor the guitar's direct lineage to the original — delivering that raw, chimey, unmistakable blackguard twang that started it all.\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 — and none more historically charged than this. Fender American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster: 75 years of the guitar that had no name and changed everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cheader\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"f-bold f-uppercase p-0 pb-3\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/header\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"first-instance-shown-feature-bullets\" class=\"feature-bullets-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeirloom™ Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsh Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7.25\" Radius Maple Fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick \"U\"-Shape Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e75th Anniversary Blackguard Telecaster® Pickups\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage-Style Hardware\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel No.: 0171951868\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 name=\"Product Specs\"\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"General\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Series\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSeries: \u003c\/b\u003eLimited Edition 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Orientation\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOrientation: \u003c\/b\u003eRight-Hand\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Color\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColor: \u003c\/b\u003eBlonde\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Country Of Origin\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCountry Of Origin: \u003c\/b\u003eUSA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Neck\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Headstock\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeadstock: \u003c\/b\u003eTelecaster®\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Neck Material\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Material: \u003c\/b\u003e1-Piece Maple\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Neck Finish\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eHeirloom™ Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Neck Shape\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Shape: \u003c\/b\u003e1951 \"U\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Neck Construction\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Construction: \u003c\/b\u003e4-Bolt\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Fingerboard Radius\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius: \u003c\/b\u003e7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Fingerboard Material\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Material: \u003c\/b\u003eMaple\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Position Inlays\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePosition Inlays: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack Dot\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Side Dots\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSide Dots: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Number of Frets\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e21\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Truss Rod\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Truss Rod Nut\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Nut: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"String Nut\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eString Nut: \u003c\/b\u003eBone\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Nut Width\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut Width: \u003c\/b\u003e1.650\" (42 mm)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Nut Material\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut Material: \u003c\/b\u003eBone\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Fret Size\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFret Size: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage Tall\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Scale Length\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e25.5\" (648 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBody\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody: \u003c\/b\u003eAsh\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body Finish\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eHeirloom™ Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body Shape\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Shape: \u003c\/b\u003eTelecaster®\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body Style\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Style: \u003c\/b\u003eSolid Body\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Body Material\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Material: \u003c\/b\u003eAsh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Hardware\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Bridge\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge: \u003c\/b\u003ePure Vintage 3-Saddle Tele® with Brass Barrel Saddles, Serialized\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Bridge Cover\/Tailpiece\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Cover\/Tailpiece: \u003c\/b\u003eIncludes Chrome Bridge Cover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Bridge Mounting\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Mounting: \u003c\/b\u003e4-Screw Vintage-Style\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Pickguard\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePickguard: \u003c\/b\u003e1-Ply Black Phenolic\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Pickup Covers\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePickup Covers: \u003c\/b\u003eNeck: Chrome;
