Fender Vintera II '50s Nocaster Electric Guitar - Blackguard Blonde 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!

Best Fender I’ve Purchased in Years!
The fit and finish of my Vintera II 50s Nocaster is impeccable. The woods are flawless, the neck carve is so nice and hefty, the finish is perfect, the fretwork is perfect. I ordered a set on Custom Shop Nocaster pickups but I may not put them in—these lower output, stock pickups are very good and sweet.
Quality-wise, I have 3 Custom Shop Strats and this Vintera II guitar keeps up with them well. In fact, since receiving this Nocaster, I haven't hardly played anything else. It's rapidly becoming my favorite. I don't know if I just got very lucky or if the newest Vintera guitars are a cut above. Regardless, mine is a keeper.
Vintera nocaster
Always wanted to try a real vintage tele but wasn't sure if the vintage specs of these would be what I would like.fender has done a excellent job on this model and big thanks to sweetwater right out of the box had a great setup.
PRIDE & JOY
It is 2 months since I've got this tele and still enjoy playing on it with no switching to my other guitars.
I have replaced with white PG. Looks stunning.
Especially want to underline:
- very comfortable neck shape - thick U
- 5 star fretwork
- perfect quality of poly finishing, color choosing, ideal neck tactility
Many thanks for the assistance to Ethan Kattau.
