Fender American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar - Mocha Reviews
The Fender American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe is a spot-on re-creation of what was considered, at least in the mid 1970s, the company's top-model Tele. The '75 Tele Deluxe is built around a balanced-sounding solid alder body, while its authentic CuNiFe magnets serve up thick humbucker tones with the perfect amount of high-end bite. You'll revel in the effortless playability of this guitar's "C"-shaped, hard-rock maple neck and vintage-radius maple fingerboard. The American Vintage II 1975 Tele Deluxe is brimming with period-correct appointments, including skirted plastic knobs, a 6-saddle hardtail bridge with bent steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, a 3-bolt neck plate, and a Stratocaster-style headstock. A head-turning gloss polyurethane finish rounds out the '75 Tele Deluxe's killer appointments. To own an American Vintage II '75 Tele Deluxe is to own an important piece of Fender history. Any Tele aficionado hankering for a humbucker-equipped model will be eminently pleased by the American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe — it's one of those solidbody electric guitars you'll own for a lifetime.

Spot on re-creation of a Fender classic
I will have to say that this guitar is even better than I expected. I have several vintage telecasters from the 70s and this one is so close. It's hard to tell the difference . I am very very pleased with this guitar.
My sales rep Chris Nunley went the extra mile to make sure I got the guitar that I was looking for. I will also say that after a week or so of me owning the guitar, Chris called me to make sure that I was happy with the guitar. I have never had a sales rep do that before, and in my opinion that goes far beyond, any customer service I have ever received .
Now one of my go-to's!!!
Guitar is great!! initially there was an issue with 2 of the saddles... (adjusting screw was bent/crossthreaded).
But, Damon and Andy got me 2 new saddles shipped to my door in a flash. Now the guitar is perfect!! plays sweet, CuNife humbuckers are nice and evenly balanced. I would recommend checking out the AV Tele Deluxe!! I know there have been some issuesd initially, hopefully Fender has them ironed out by now!
Expected better
Owned 6 months. Aesthetically appealing...yes! Playability...decent enough. Problems? Yes! Fret rocker was way too busy clicking--first 1/2 dozen frets needed filing on almost every position. G string rattle is most annoying and hard to 86. Neck could be a bit slicker. For a guitar in this price range, these problems should be absent.
