Fender Vintera II '50s Nocaster Electric Guitar - 2-color Sunburst Reviews
The unparalleled look, sound, and feel of Leo Fender’s original Nocaster are alive and well if the Vintera II series of axes has anything to say about it. The Vintera II ’50s Nocaster provides that iconic alder and maple body and neck combo, offering plenty of period-correct appointments along the way, like its thicker “U”-shaped neck profile and vintage-style tuning machines. Grab hold, and you’re taken right back to 1951! Plug in, and the Vintera II ’50s Nocaster generates a spanky punch that flutters while clean and begins to sear when you lay into it. The secret recipe? A set of vintage-style ’50s single-coil Tele pickups at the neck and bridge, developed specifically to hone in on that cherished prototypical tone. Aiding in the old-school attitude is a vintage-style Tele bridge with barrel brass saddles, further injecting this Vintera II ’50s Nocaster with all the twangy tuneage you can conjure. Sweetwater guitarists’ take? This is your chance to own a true Nocaster tribute — without it costing an arm and a leg!

Vintera Nocaster burst
I have always owned and played Les Paul's and PRS single cuts ….still my preferred guitars, however this is an amazing and pleasingly different guitar choice. I got this with contributions from my family for Christmas. I consider myself a bit of an American Made snob, but I purchased a over seas PRS soapbar a few yeas ago that changed my opinion, it is a tremendously well made guitar. So…based on that experience I gave the MIM telecasters a look and landed on the Vintera Nocaster. I would love to own a real vintage guitar but I do not have the bank account to support. This Telecaster has a great vintage vibe about it, but it's a brand new guitar! It plays beautiful, I lowered the action slightly after playing it for about a week. That is a preference thing, it was great right out of the box. The finish is perfect, both on the body and the neck. I read there have been some issues with the edges of the frets not being filed well…that is not my experience. The vintage style pick ups have a pretty low output but that is to be expected…they're vintage, they growl aggressively (hard rock) when turned up with just a little overdrive. The neck and bridge combined is my go-to. It can be fender clean or have a bluesy growl with a turn of the volume knob. I personally enjoy the neck shape, I am not a great guitar player but I have been playing for 40 years (rock /metal/worship bands and just recreational)…the neck shape fits this guitar in my opinion. This is not a heavy metal guitar. Rock…blues…country…worship is were this guitar will shine. I cannot tell you how this stacks up against an American made Tele of similar spec, but I highly recommend this guitar for any guitar player of all different skill levels. This is a high quality instrument. My only complaint is it only comes with a gear bag…this guitar deserves a hard case (I immediately bought one) I highly recommend this guitar, I love mine!!!
Love this Guitar
Played one of the first ones in SF, years of playing and never playing a U Neck is like finding smoked paprika with eggs for the first time. Send me a model for reviews and videos!! Love this guitar... I have bigger hands it it was far comfortable on soloing and chords. Gotta get one, just give me a little better price.
