Fender American Vintage II 77 Tele Custom Mn, Black

If you're seeking a high-quality blast from Fender's past, which takes a classic guitar design into new sonic territory, then the Fender American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom, seen here with a sleek Black finish, could be just the thing for you.

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.
