Vintage Vibe with High Output!

The FENDER® Vintage Hot Rod '52 Telecaster® bridges the gap between the Fender Custom Shop and production models. Loaded with the most requested custom features built into Custom Shop models, the Vintage Hot Rod '52 is equipped with a Custom Vintage Tele® bridge pickup, a Seymour Duncan Vintage Mini HB neck pickup, "U"-shaped neck, and an vintage-style Tele bridge with three compensated brass saddles. This is a hot-rodded vintage Tele for the 21st century! Get that magical broken-in feel in a brand-new guitar with the Fender Vintage Hot Rod '52 Telecaster®.



Fender Vintage Hot Rod '52 Telecaster at a Glance:
  • Vintage specs with modern appointments
  • Modern pickups
  • Comfortable "U"-shaped neck


A brand-new old friend
Classic vintage styling and a thin nitrocellulose laquer finish mingle with modern pickups and a comfy "U"-shaped neck with a Maple fingerboard and medium jumbo frets on the Vintage Hot Rod '52 Tele®. The result is a guitar with a vintage feel and modern tonal capabilities, giving it a broken-in vibe and adding functionality to a classic instrument. If you ever pined for the feeling you can only get from playing a great-sounding, lived-in axe but want a new instrument, here it is!

Classic vibe with a real kick
Yes, it's got a classy, vintage appeal. But take a closer look at that Seymour Duncan Vintage Mini HB in the neck position, and the Custom Vintage Tele single-coil at the bridge. You know you're getting more firepower out of these pickups than any stock '52 Tele could ever dream of!

Ultra-comfortable neck
The Vintage Hot Rod '52 Tele's one-piece Maple neck has that comfortable broken-in feeling, with a super-playable "U" shape. A flatter fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets also contribute to the easy playability of this instrument, which comes with a deluxe vintage tweed case.
