Reissue of the American Classic!
The FENDER® American Vintage Series encapsulates the essential designs from which all Fenders have evolved. Utilizing original specs and tooling, Fender is still making them like they used to. From the distinctive body and headstock designs, to the vintage pickups, these instruments replicate all of the physical and tonal aspects of their predecessors. Collectors and vintage nuts take notice, you're going to love the American Vintage Series!

The American Vintage '52 Tele® retains every detail of the vintage original. Its premium ash body, one-piece U-shaped maple neck with 7.25"-radius fingerboard, single-ply black pickguard and original Tele circuit with three-position switch exude vintage authenticity, as do the brass bridge saddles, and ashtray bridge cover. A vintage six-saddle bridge and a modern wiring update kit are included.The American Vintage '52 Telecaster® is loaded with American Vintage Tele single-coil pickups, vintage style tuning keys, a single-ply pickguard to futher add to the vintage vibe.

One of the longest-running production models in Fender's history, the Telecaster guitar has been modified only slightly in its more than 50 legendary years, with its great strength inherent in its classic simplicity. This guitar is as colse to vintage as you can get!
